Bruno Clair, who harvested quite late in 2006 (September 27 through October 7), says that this vintage now gives a great deal of pleasure, while 2005 is powerful but closed, with the constitution to age for a long time. The big news here is that the estate took back much of its Bonnes-Mares in early 2006, and has virtually doubled its quantities of Chambertin Clos de Beze, Gevrey-Chambertin Clos Saint-Jacques and Vosne-Romanee Champs-Perdrix, following the expiration of long-term rental agreements (mostly with Jadot) that had been signed when Bruno's father Bernard left him 15 hectares of vineyards in 1988.

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+?).
