Bruno Clair’s 2014s stood out for their precision and transparency to terroir in December. Even if they don’t have the sheer thickness of the ‘15s, I had a hard time choosing between the two vintages. The '14s were bottled between late April and the end of May of 2016.

"The 2014s showcase their terroirs while the 2013s are more marked by the almost historically cool season," said Bruno Clair in December. He made between 70% and 80% of a normal crop in 2014 and finds these wines riper than the 2013s, which he says "ripened by concentration, not from sun. The 2014s have a bit of the finesse of the 2011s but they also have more depth."
This estate benefits from a high percentage of very old vines. In fact, thanks to the quality of the genetic material planted here, cuttings from Clair's vines, along with those of Domaine Ponsot, were used by the University of Dijon in the 1960s to create some of the clones that are most highly regarded today in Burgundy and elsewhere. I tasted the Marsannay cuvées from large casks, and all but one of the rest from barriques; all of the 2014s had been racked in October.
