Vintage Character Domaine Bruno Clair Marsannay "Les Grasses Têtes" 2022 is a red Burgundy from the Marsannay appellation at the northern gateway to the Côte de Nuits. The 2022 vintage is widely regarded as strong in Burgundy: a warm, sunny growing season delivered generous ripeness, yet timely freshness helped preserve balance, giving wines both charm and structure. Les Grasses Têtes is one of Marsannay’s named climats, and this sector’s limestone-rich, stony soils are well suited to Pinot Noir, shaping a wine that combines bright fruit with the firm, earthy line that makes Marsannay such a compelling source of value.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing In the glass, it opens with red cherry, raspberry and wild strawberry, followed by violet, subtle spice and a light savory earth note. The palate is medium-bodied and finely textured, with lively acidity, polished tannins and a core of crunchy red fruit that carries into a persistent, mineral-tinged finish. There is an appealing mix of immediacy and classic Burgundian tension here, making it versatile at the table. Pair it with duck breast, roast pork loin with herbs, or mushroom risotto.
Winery Background Domaine Bruno Clair is one of Burgundy’s most respected family estates, built by Bruno Clair from important family holdings in Marsannay, Gevrey-Chambertin and beyond. The domaine is known for meticulous vineyard work, including hand-harvesting and a strong focus on expressing each climat with clarity rather than excessive winemaking signatures. In the cellar, fermentations are handled with restraint and élevage is measured so that oak supports rather than dominates the fruit. That combination of precision, transparency and consistency has made Bruno Clair a benchmark name for terroir-driven Burgundy.
