Thibaud Clerget is the 28th generation of his family to make wines in and around Volnay. They have farmed here since 1268. And yet Domaine Clerget feels like a new name on the scene. Thibaud’s father Yvon retired in 2009 and between then and 2015 the fruit had been sold to a local négociant whilst son Thibaud travelled. He spent time in Oregon and New Zealand developing his winemaking skills and knowledge and then completed his apprenticeship with Charles Van Canneyt at Domaine Hudelot-Noëllat in Vougeot before finally returning to the family estate in 2015. He has inherited 6 hectares of superbly tended vineyards, the majority of which are in Volnay. He destems all his fruit and aims to make refined, naturally expressive wines.Read less
