Domaine Y. Clerget Volnay 1er Cru Santenots 2016

Domaine Yvon Clerget is one of the most exciting rediscoveries of modern Burgundy. After a careful relaunch, this small family estate from Volnay now shows a style that delights purists and pleasure-seekers alike: finely polished Pinot Noir, razor-sharp precision and fascinating finesse.

The wines combine the classic elegance of Volnay with crystalline clarity, impressing even when young while also offering great ageing potential. Yvon Clerget works with almost surgical precision in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar. The result is pure, silky Burgundies that count among the most sought-after insider tips of the Côte d’Or.

The Burgundy (Bourgogne) wine region is shaped by small parcels and historic vineyards. The focus here is on two grape varieties – Pinot Noir and Chardonnay – which reflect soil, climate and craftsmanship with exceptional transparency.

Between Dijon and Mâcon, a narrow band of vineyards stretches for around 250 km, each with its own distinctive character.
