Bourgogne de Marsanny ( Côte d'Or ) Region: Bourgogne Cote de Nuits Pitot Noir Founded in 1919 in Marsannay, Domaine Clair-Daü was split up in 1985. Located between Chambolle-Musginy and Morey-Saint-Denis, Bonne-Mares produces some of the great Burgundy wines and Clair-Daü undoubtedly contributed to its fame. Whilst small in yields, 1978 is widely considered one of the finest vintages of the era. In 1985 the Clair-Daü domain was split up after 76 years of winemaking (it was founded in 1919 by Marsannay). Over the years, Joseph Clair and Marguerite Daü have built up the domain's reputation. The incessant family quarrels, that had originally been the making of the house, eventually became too much and the domain was sold to the Maison Louis Jadot in 1985. Bruno Clair, Joseph's grandson, successfully pursued the ancient family tradition by adding his parent's and sibling's parcels to his own (Clos de Bèze, Cazetiers, Clos St-Jacques, Vosne-Romanée, Clos du Fonteny and Chambolle-Musigny). Today he is at the head of a 23-hectare domain, which has several grand crus parcels at Gevrey. The few remaining bottles of the domain benefit now from a true cult among lovers of great Burgundy wines. The story starts in the early 19th century. Bruno is the winegrower's sixth generation. Joseph Clair, Bruno's grandfather, acquired vines in Chambolle Musigny, Morey Saint Denis, and Gevrey Chambertin between 1930 and 1960. He joined forces with his wife, three children, and sister-in-law to set up Clair DAU estate
