Clair's trilogy of high-altitude communal bottlings concludes with the 2022 Vosne-Romanée Les Champs Perdrix, an ample and fleshy wine that offers up aromas of sweet raspberries, raw cocoa and spices. Medium to full-bodied, racy and saline, it concludes with chalky grip that will soften with bottle age.

The 2022 Vosne-Romanée Le Champ Perdrix showed some reduction on the nose, but there seems to be ample, quite floral fruit in situ. The fresh, vibrant palate offers dark cherries mixed with citrus fruit. It is focused and tensile with an energetic finish and a touch of sour cherry on the aftertaste. Very fine.
About the Producer
Domaine Bruno Clair is a young boutique winery in the Cote de Nuits appellation in Burgundy, France. Bruno Clair has a large number of vineyards, including the Clos de Beze in Chambertin and other first growths in Gevrey and Savigny, with a total of 12.5 acres of grand cru and first growths, and village vineyards scattered throughout Marsanne, Gevrey, Gevrey and Savigny. Chambolle Musigny, Morey St Denis, Vosne Romanee and Aloxe-Corton. The oldest of these vines is the Grand Cru de Beze, where 2/3 of the vines (mainly Pinot Noir) were planted in 1912, while the remaining 1/3 were planted in 1972. The Cazetiers, a first growth, is also quite distinctive. Located on the top of a hill in the village of Gevrey-Chambertin, the white marl of this vineyard gives the wines a richer mineral flavour, which makes them very different from the neighbouring Clos St-Jacques. Despite its high altitude, the wines from Cazetiai are low in acidity and only require a period of maturation before becoming very rounded on the palate. At present, Château Bruno Clair offers a wide range of wines, including classic reds such as Chambertin-Clos de Bèzes Grand cru and Bonnes Mares Grand Cru, in addition to rosé sparkling wines (Rose) and White wines. These Pinot Noir reds are powerful, but not over-extracted, giving the impression of being over-extracted, and are loved and appreciated by consumers and critics alike.
