BRUNO CLAIR SLB LA DOMINODE 1ER CRU 2019

Domaine Bruno Clair Savigny-lès-Beaune "La Dominode" 1er Cru emerges from century-old Pinot Noir vines planted in 1902 on Burgundy's prized clay-limestone soils, where east-northeast exposure at 250 meters elevation creates optimal ripening conditions and distinctive mineral expression. This esteemed domaine employs traditional vinification with partial whole-cluster fermentation and extended maceration in wooden vats, followed by careful aging in French oak barrels. The 2019 vintage displays a deep ruby color with captivating aromas of blackcurrant, dark cherry, and subtle forest undergrowth, while the palate reveals concentrated dark fruit flavors, elegant spice notes, and a powerful tannic structure that promises exceptional development over the recommended 7-8 year cellaring period, embodying the complexity and finesse of premier cru Burgundy.
