DOMAINE YVON (THIBAUD) CLERGET

DOMAINE YVON (THIBAUD) CLERGET

The Clerget family has been in Volnay a long time – a really long time! For 28 generations back to 1268 one Clerget or another has been making wine in Volnay. The current generation is the young, talented Thibaud Clerget. Thibaut’s father retired from winemaking in 2009 and from 2010 to 2014 sold his grapes to Henri Boillot. During this time Thibaud learnt his trade by working at various domaines including Domaine Henri Boillot, Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat and Domaine Drouhin in Oregon. Thibaud made his first vintage with the fabulous 2015 vintage and it was clear from the outset that this is a rising star domaine of the Côte de Beaune. The domaine exploits a number Volnay 1er Crus including its own Monopole ‘Clos du Verseuil’ as well as Meursault, Pommard 1er Cru Rugiens and Grand Cru Clos Vougeot.
