CLERGET YVON

In Burgundy, wine is often a family affair. Thibaud Clerget, Yvon's son, is the heir to seven centuries of family viticulture. He is the twenty-eighth generation to create the prestigious Domaine Yvon Clerget in Volnay. The estate dates back to 1268. Since 2015, Thibaud Clerget has been perpetuating his love of Burgundy terroir and wines. In less than ten vintages, he has established himself as one of the most talented winemakers on the Côte de Beaune. Deeply respectful of tradition, Thibaud Clerget perfectly combines the good farming sense of yesteryear with the open-mindedness of the younger generation.

Geographical location of Domaine Yvon Clerget

The six hectares of Domaine Yvon Clerget are located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, in Meursault, Pommard and Volnay. One parcel stands out: the remarkable Clos de Vougeot in the Côtes de Nuits. The domaine's wines belong to some of Burgundy's most coveted appellations, including Les Caillerets, En Champans and Les Rugiens. Uncompromising in his pursuit of quality, Thibaud Clerget sets the bar very high. From the vineyard to the cellar, everything is done to preserve the delicacy of Pinot Noir. He uses instinct as his guide, the lunar calendar as his compass, and terroir as his guiding principle. At Domaine Yvon Clerget, it's the terroirs that are bottled each vintage.
