The story begins in 1919, when Joseph Clair, from Santenay, married Marguerite Daü, who worked vines at Marsannay-la-Côte. Joseph is remembered for the Marsannay rosé from Pinot Noir, the wine that made the village's name and, much later, helped it win its own appellation. In 1954 he set up Domaine Clair-Daü with his wife, his sister-in-law and his three children; the estate broke up in 1985 after family disagreements. His grandson Bruno had already created his own domaine in 1979, and from 1986 he took on the vines entrusted by his parents, brothers and sisters, seventeen hectares at the time.

Today the domaine covers 27 hectares from Marsannay to Savigny-lès-Beaune and produces 32 appellations. Marsannay in white, red and rosé remains its base. The domaine also holds vines in Fixin, Gevrey-Chambertin (the premiers crus Clos Saint-Jacques and Les Cazetiers), Morey-Saint-Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Vosne-Romanée, Aloxe-Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses and Savigny-lès-Beaune, where it holds the premier cru La Dominode. Three grands crus crown the list: Chambertin-Clos de Bèze, Bonnes-Mares and Corton-Charlemagne. Édouard Clair, who joined in 2010, makes the wines; Arthur, who came in 2018 with his sister Margaux, runs the cellar.
