Pre-Arrivals: Domaine de la Commaraine

Finna Sze | June 29, 2024

Today, I am delighted to present a pre-arrival offer for the 2022 vintage of Domaine de la Commaraine.

Domaine de la Commaraine is a clos of 3.63 ha and has its roots deeply in the history of Burgundian wine production as they have existed since the 12th century. The wine from this clos has been renowned worldwide for centuries and was a favourite of the American President Thomas Jefferson during his visit to the château in 1787.

Domaine de la Commaraine was acquired in 2017 by Denise Dupré and Mark Nunelly with the ambition to restore the wine to its former glory and make it one of the great Premiers Crus of the Côte de Beaune. Since 2018, it has been under the management of Paul Krug (son of Olivier Krug) and Louis-Michel Liger-Belair who acts as a consultant.

This large, walled vineyard, insulated from outside influences, is ideally suited to organic and biodynamic farming — and will now be worked accordingly. Soil scientist and geologist Pedro Parra has visited to study the clos, which has now been divided into eight sub-plots along geological lines; plots that will be farmed and vinified separately.

Thanks to this exceptional wine heritage, the Domaine de la Commaraine will once again shine in the firmament of the Burgundian domains. It is worth mentioning that only 5,000 bottles of Domaine de la Commaraine Pommard 1er Cru Clos de la Commaraine Monopole were produced in 2022.

The wines will arrive at Sotheby’s Hong Kong in November 2024; we will contact you for pick-up or delivery once they are available.
