Region: Côte de Beaune, Burgundy

ESTATE HISTORY

Founded in 1935 by Antoine Clavelier, Maison Clavelier was acquiered in 2001 by Henri-Noël and Isabelle Thomas. Animated by their passion for wine, they combine art and
tradition with respect for the terroirs to offer the palates of connoisseurs the greatest wines of Burgundy.
In 2020 and after several years at the head of the Maison and Domaine Clavelier, Isabelle Thomas handed over this 2.8 hectare estate to her son Paul to ensure its continuity. Quality and authenticity, the key words of Clavelier.

TERROIR

Located north of Beaune on marl-limestone soil, the Chorey-les-Beaune appellation is surrounded by major appellations such as Savigny-les-Beaune and Aloxe-Corton.

WINEMAKING

The harvest is done by hand. Once destemmed, the grapes are placed between 2 and 4 days in stainless steel vats for pre-fermentation maceration and vinification. Then the aging is done in oak barrels, 25% new, for 8 to 12 months.

TASTING & FOOD PAIRINGS

Expressive nose of black fruits, accompanied by spicy notes such as liquorice and white pepper. It is round, supple, with an acidity adding ardour. A finish with tight tannins.
This red wine is the perfect accompaniment to Charolais rib steak, calf’s head with gribiche sauce or charcuterie platter.
To serve between 15°C and 16°C.
