Domaine Françoise & Denis Clair, Santenay
The late Denis Clair made the reputation of this Domaine thanks to his formidable red-wine-making skills. The arrival of his talented son Jean-Baptiste, with his commitment to take the whites up to the level of the reds, has meant that the Domaine has now become pre-eminent also for its range of Saint-Aubins. It is worth stocking up on whites here in 2020, as frost wreaked havoc on the crop in 2021, and there will be little to offer, next year.
