Domaine Bruno Clair was founded in Marsannay-la-Côte in 1979 by Bruno Clair, grandson of the Clair-Daü family, and has become the benchmark producer of the appellation. The domaine farms around 27 hectares using sustainable and organic methods, and its range of single-vineyard Marsannays shows just how much the village's climats differ from one another.
Les Grasses Têtes is an eight hectare hillside vineyard rising from the village at around 300 metres. Its name refers to the large boulders, the "fat heads", buried in a deep layer of dark red, iron-rich clay over crinoidal limestone. The domaine's old Pinot Noir vines here date mostly from the late 1960s and early 1970s, and the site produces the most powerful of the Clair Marsannays in both fruit and structure.
The grapes are fermented with indigenous yeasts in open wooden vats, with 30 to 50 percent whole bunches and regular punch-downs, then aged for 18 to 20 months in barrel, around 40 percent of them new. The result is a deeply fruited, structured red Burgundy with real Côte de Nuits character.
