95 / 100"The 2017 Clos Vougeot Grand Cru is another stellar wine from Thibaud Clerget. Energetic and vibrant in the glass, with striking aromatic presence from the 50% whole clusters, the 2017 is spot-on. Bright floral notes add lift to a core of finely-sculpted red cherry/plum fruit. The 2017 is an impressive wine in the making. - Antonio Galloni"

Tasting Notes
The reborn Domaine Y. Clerget could very well turn out to be one of the great recent success stories in Burgundy… Readers should do whatever they can to taste these wines. [Thibaud] Clerget is just 28 and appears to have a brilliant career in front of him. Bravo!"-Antonio Galloni, Vinous
The Clergets have been working their vineyards for generations until 2009 when Yvon announced he was going to retire. They began selling all of their fruit to Henri Boillot while Yvon's son Thibaud continued to study and learn more about vineyard management and winemaking while working with Henri Boillot and Hudelot Noellat. Pretty good places to learn! In 2015, the Clergets stopped selling their fruit and Thibaud produced and bottled his first wines under the Domaine Yvon Clerget label.
Thibaud Clerget is the winemaker, in his 30s by the way, and oversees top premier cru vineyard holdings in Volnay and Pommard to go along with a tiny parcel of Clos Vougeot from Grand Maupertui in the upper sect
