Tasting notes
The 2023 Maison Y. Clerget Volnay 1er Cru 'Les Brouillards' is a vibrant, mineral-driven Pinot Noir crafted by Thibaud Clerget, with 20% whole clusters adding complexity and lift to what was a warm vintage. The nose is fragrant and expressive — fresh red cherry, raspberry, and subtle florals over a delicate undercurrent of earth and spice. The palate is medium-bodied and tightly focused, with ripe red berry fruit framed by fine-grained, beautifully integrated tannins. The finish is understated yet persistent, leaving a crisp, mineral impression that is unmistakably Volnay.
More About The Winery
The Clerget family has deep roots in Volnay, with a lineage tracing back to the 13th century. After a period of dormancy, the estate was revived in 2015 when Thibaud Clerget, the 28th generation, took over from his father, Yvon. With energy, vision, and international experience in New Zealand, Oregon, and Burgundy, Thibaud has quickly re-established Domaine Yvon Clerget as one of the most exciting names in the Côte de Beaune.
Today, the domaine cultivates 6 hectares across prestigious vineyards in Volnay, Pommard, Meursault, and Clos de Vougeot. Its crown jewel is the Volnay 1er Cru “Clos du Verseuil”, a 0.68-hectare monopole nestled beside Les Taillepieds, acquired by the family in 1936. Other highlights include Volnay Caillerets, Pommard Rugiens, and Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru.
Since his arrival, Thibaud has converted the vineyards to biodynamic farming, reduced the use of new oak, and introduced whole-cluster fermentations, crafting wines of purity, finesse, and terroir expression. His style emphasizes delicacy, elegance, and approachability, while retaining the complexity and structure for ageing.
