About the winemaker
The Domaine Y. Clerget is one of the oldest domains in Burgundy. The family has been making wine since 1268 and therefore for 28 (!) generations and is therefore closely connected to the region and terroir of Burgundy. Since 2015, Thibaud Clerget (1991) has been responsible for vinification on the family estate. He works his six hectares of vineyards with unprecedented precision and with respect for nature. With vineyards in Volnay, Pommard, Clos de Vougeot and Meursault, he watches over the family property every day. The cellars are located in Pommard and here the wines are raised with an unprecedented passion and talent.
