The vineyards trace back to the eighteenth century in Vosne-Romanée. Bruno's maternal grandfather, Joseph Brosson, rebuilt the estate between 1935 and 1955, after decades marked by phylloxera, mildew and two world wars. On his father's side, Antoine Clavelier founded a wine trading house in Comblanchien in 1935; his three sons, including Bruno's father André, ran it from 1978 until its sale in 1991. Until 1987 the domaine's production was sold in bulk to négociants, including the family's own trading house. Bruno Clavelier, a former rugby player with a national oenology diploma from the University of Dijon, took over the domaine that year. From 1992 he began bottling the full harvest under the domaine's own label rather than selling it in cask.

Much of the vineyard was replanted after phylloxera in the 1930s and 1940s, and some of those vines survive today, propagated by massale selection rather than clonal planting. The domaine avoided the heavy use of potassium fertilizer common in the 1970s and 1980s, which helps preserve the acidity that gives the wines their structure. Farming follows biodynamic principles built around observation: the vine is treated as an active plant that responds to its surroundings, and the work in the vineyard aims to support that response rather than impose a fixed outcome. The domaine's holdings span Grand Cru Corton, several Premier Cru sites in Gevrey-Chambertin and Vosne-Romanée, and four different Vosne-Romanée village wines.

At Dynamic Cellars, the range from Domaine Bruno Clavelier centers on the domaine's regional bottlings: Bourgogne Aligoté Vieilles Vignes 2023, Bourgogne Les Champs d'Argent Pinot Noir Vieilles Vignes 2023, Bourgogne Passe-tout-grains Vieilles Vignes 2023, and Les Glapigny, a Vin de France cuvée, from 2023. These sit alongside our other Burgundy wines and biodynamic wines, and our selection from Vosne-Romanée and Gevrey-Chambertin.
