Winemaker Notes

The vines planted on les Longeroies are among the oldest of the domaine, ranging from 25 to 70 years. The wines resulting from these vines combine finesse and power to produce a very full, rich wine with good color.

RP 92

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The 2013 Marsannay les Longeroies has the most flamboyant and expressive bouquet of the three Marsannay crus: very pure and defined with floral scents developing in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine structure and mineralité, quite edgy with a long persistent, stony finish. Excellent. Range: 90-92

BH 91

Burghound.com

As it often is this is the best of the three Marsannay wines with its notably more complex nose that displays notes of red and dark currants, earth, game and hints of humus. There is fine concentration to the lightly mineral-inflected medium weight flavors that culminate in a firm and balanced finish that delivers solid depth and length.Range: 88-91

Bruno Clair

Domaine Bruno Clair’s origins are Domaine Clair-Daü, one of the most celebrated domaines in Burgundy from the 1950s to the early 1970s.The domaine is 23 hectares of, well, everything: grand crus, values, rosé, geeky village level, geeky premier crus, and for a predominantly red wine estate, even some Corton-Charlemagne. There is some brilliant genetic material here too as it was from Bruno’s father (as well as from Ponsot) that the Dijon University got many of the cutting that are at the origin of today’s clones. The wines are about delicately extracted fruit on the front palate, backed by serious structure on the mid-palate. If there is one domaine in the Côte de Nuits poised to become (or re-become) a planetary rock star, given the holdings and the talent here, it is this one.

Perched up in the northernmost position in the Côte de Nuits, Marsannay is the only appellation village of Burgundy to produce classified wines of all three colors: red, white— and rosé. The official Rosé de Marsannay earned its high reputation in the early 1900s.

Its reds, made of Pinot Noir, burst with red and black fruit and are consistently long on the palate. Chardonnays from Marsannay are charming, floral and full of citrus fruit and mineral. Top Marsannay vineyards include Clos du Roy and Les Longeroies.

Pinot Noir

Thin-skinned, finicky and temperamental, Pinot Noir is also one of the most rewarding grapes to grow and remains a labor of love for some of the greatest vignerons in Burgundy. Fairly adaptable but highly reflective of the environment in which it is grown, Pinot Noir prefers a cool climate and requires low yields to achieve high quality. Outside of France, outstanding examples come from in Oregon, California and throughout specific locations in wine-producing world. Somm Secret—André Tchelistcheff, California’s most influential post-Prohibition winemaker decidedly stayed away from the grape, claiming “God made Cabernet. The Devil made Pinot Noir.”
