🏰 Domaine Guillemard Clerc is a family-owned estate in Puligny-Montrachet, cultivating vineyards across esteemed appellations, including Clos de Vougeot. Established in 1990, the estate emphasizes sustainability, with vineyards ploughed annually and treatments applied only when necessary, earning High Environmental Value (HVE) certification. They aim to deliver exceptional quality at a thoughtful price point. For their Clos de Vougeot, they own a small parcel (0.4 ha) on a southeast-facing slope with clay-limestone soil, with an average vine age of 36 years, producing about 1,200 bottles annually. Aging uses Allier oak barrels with 20% new oak. The 2019 vintage in Burgundy for reds was considered top-tier, producing wines with considerable power and concentration, often described as majestic and providing "flashy thrills."
