Bruno Clair told me that 1990 is the greatest vintage for this domain since he started here in 1969. "But the crop in 2005 was smaller than that of 1990, and the new vintage is richer and more palate-coating than other great years like 2002, 1999 and 1996," he added. "At harvest time, we had a festival of perfume in the cuverie." (Vineyard Brands, Birmingham, AL) Also recommended: Marsannay Les Longeroies (85), Gevrey-Chambertin Clos du Fonteny (85?), Savigny-les-Beaune La Dominode (86+?).
