  • Size: 1.27 ha (3.14 ac)
  • Variety: Pinot Noir
  • Vine Age: Average of 35 years
  • Terroir: Les Roseys, Les Boivins, Les Étalles. Southeast-facing.
  • Viticulture: Sustainable, organic practices
  • Vinification: 50% of the grapes are pressed directly, the other 50% macerate for 3-4 days on the skins. Ambient yeast fermentation, aged 10 months in used barrels or stainless steel tanks.

Their method of some whole cluster maceration assures a good structure and brings out elegant Pinot Noir aromas.

Bruno Clair’s rosé pays homage to the family’s history as it was his grandfather, upon returning from the war in 1919, who decided to try vinifying his pinot noir grapes into rosé wine for the first time in the Marsannay area. The delicate, soft, and fruit-forward result eventually became all the rage in Dijon cafés. Rosé wines from Marsannay gained AOC status in 1987.
