A historic Côte de Beaune estate founded in the 13th century, Domaine Clerget has remained in the family fold for 28 generations, and today offers wines that live up to this fine tradition.

Thibaud Clerget took over the reins of the family domaine with his first vintage in 2015 and is now proudly bearing the colors of the appellations whose expression he sublimates.
Building on the fundamental values acquired from his forebears, such as good farming sense and listening to the terroirs, he combines them with a boldness and precision that make tasting the estate’s wines unforgettable. Respectful of the vines and attentive in the winery, Thibaud Clerget’s titanic efforts lead to the effacement of man behind the expression of each terroir. The wines produced are dazzling in their sincerity and precision. The intrinsic finesse of Pinot Noir is revealed in every cuvée, and the consistency of the quality achieved is worthy of respect.
