Domaine Yvon Clerget, located in the esteemed village of Volnay within Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, boasts a winemaking heritage that spans 28 generations, dating back to the 13th century. After a brief hiatus during which the family's grapes were sold to other producers following Yvon Clerget's retirement in 2009, his son, Thibaud Clerget, revitalized the estate in 2015. At the age of 24, Thibaud released his inaugural vintage, marking the re-emergence of the domaine with wines that garnered immediate acclaim for their quality and finesse.
The domaine encompasses six hectares of prime vineyards meticulously selected over generations. These holdings include esteemed appellations such as Volnay, Meursault, Pommard, and Clos Vougeot. Among their notable wines is the Volnay Premier Cru "Clos du Verseuil" Monopole, a unique 0.68-hectare vineyard exclusive to the Clerget family. This wine exemplifies the elegance and depth characteristic of Volnay's finest offerings.
Thibaud honed his winemaking skills through apprenticeships with renowned Burgundy estates, including Domaine Henri Boillot and Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat. His approach emphasizes traditional Burgundian methods, focusing on expressing the purity and complexity of each terroir. Under Thibaud's stewardship, Domaine Yvon Clerget has reestablished itself as a distinguished producer, crafting wines that reflect both the family's deep-rooted legacy and a dynamic, modern vision.
