The Jean-Marc Boillot estate<\/h2>\n

Jean-Marc Boillot<\/a><\/strong> set up in 1985, having previously vinified for Olivier Leflaive Fr\u00e8res. He started out by renting a few plots from Pommard<\/a><\/strong>which he has extended with vineyards in Pommard and\u00a0Volnay<\/a><\/strong> inherited from his father's side in 1988 (thanks to his other grandfather \u00c9tienne Sauzet), representing a third of the total estate. \u00c9tienne Sauzet estate<\/strong>. The domaine now cultivates 11 hectares of vines - 5 for reds and 6 for whites (including generic Burgundy) - and produces the same quantities of whites as a n\u00e9gociant, notably in the C\u00f4te Chalonnaise. Jean-Marc Boillot <\/strong>now works with his two children, Lydie and Benjamin.<\/p>\n

Domaine Boillot wines<\/h2>\n

All the white wines, with the exception of the Grand Cru, are vinified in the same way: whole bunches are pressed, decanted for 24 hours, then racked into 25 to 30 % new barrels, stirred once a week, and bottled before the harvest. The result is fresh, seductive and pure wines.<\/p>\n

The reds are completely destemmed, then undergo cold prefermentary maceration. Once fermentation has begun, they are racked and pumped over at a rate that takes into account terroir and vintage. They then spend thirteen months maturing in barrels, 50% of new barrels, and a final six months in stainless steel tanks to prepare for bottling. The estate's red wines combine fruitiness and woodiness brilliantly, a good combination for medium-term cellaring.<\/p>\n

Our selection of vintages from the Jean-Marc Boillot estate<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Montagny 1er cru<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Montagny<\/a><\/p>\n

Readers looking for a delicious white from\u00a0Burgundy<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0should check out Jean-Marc Boillot's fabulous 2014 Montagny. Notes of flowers, pears, flint and crushed stone emerge from this superb white. A pure crystalline finish rounds things out.<\/p>\n

Saint-Aubin 1er cru<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Saint<\/a><\/p>\n

From a rarely seen premier cru situated high on the hill overlooking the small Gamay village, Saint Aubin Sous la Roche Dumay (blanc) 2003 reveals a nose of sweet, buttery almonds. This suave, light to medium-bodied wine is spicy, filled with full-bodied pears, and offers a sappy, fleshy character and a long, expressive finish.<\/p>\n

Pommard<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pommard\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Notes of rhubarb and redcurrants, this wine offers great freshness. Refined, very light tannins. A subtle finish.<\/p>\n

Pommard 1 er cru Saucilles<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pommard<\/a><\/p>\n

The Pommard 1er Cru Saucilles is quite tannic, but very soft, with notes of ripe fruit. Medium-bodied.<\/p>\n

Pommard 1er cru Jarolli\u00e8res<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pommard<\/a><\/p>\n

The average age of the vines is seventy years, giving birth to a wine that combines the roughness of Pommard with the finesse of Volnay. The tannins here are softer than in the Rugiens, giving this rich, full-bodied wine a long finish.<\/p>\n

Pommard 1er cru Rugiens<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Pommard<\/a><\/p>\n

Less energy than the Jarollieres. However, this is a wine that excels in texture, with refined tannins and a savory finish. Notes of licorice, fresh fruit juice and beef.<\/p>\n

Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Referts<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Puligny<\/a><\/p>\n

Visit Puligny Montrachet<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>1er Cru les Referts develops like a great wine. It has a strict, linear nose, with mineral scents that develop well in the glass. The palate is well-balanced, quite powerful from the start with lemon zest, ginger notes and a very pleasant saline note, which demands another sip on the finish. An intense, classy wine.<\/p>\n

Puligny-Montrachet 1er cru Champs Canet<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Puligny<\/a><\/p>\n

The wine has a minerality reminiscent of its stony terroir. There's no lack of substance, but it's more linear than in the rounder, more supple Combettes. Despite this, the finish is long and persistent.<\/p>\n
