Tasting notes
The 2023 Domaine Yvon Clerget Bourgogne Pinot Noir is a vibrant and expressive introduction to the domaine’s style. Crafted from 100% destemmed Pinot Noir, the wine highlights purity of fruit and precision.
The nose reveals fresh red cherry, raspberry, and delicate spice, while the palate is supple, lively, and beautifully balanced. Silky tannins and bright acidity give the wine energy and finesse, leading to an elegant, fruit-driven finish. A charming and refined entry-level Burgundy, it offers immediate pleasure while reflecting the care and craftsmanship of Thibaud Clerget.
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.
