Technical Sheet |
The Boillot name appears in many forms in both the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits; the family history is complicated but at least friendly, which is not always the case in Burgundy. Pierre Boillot inherited his Gevrey vineyards from his father’s side of the family – Domaine Lucien Boillot – and his Volnay, Pommard and Puligny vineyards from his grandfather, Henri Boillot. He worked with his cousin Jean-Marc Boillot on his eponymous domaine until he broke away in 2003 to reinvigorate the Domaine Lucien Boillot name. He has just over seven hectares of vines, the majority in and around Gevrey. His style is one of restrained understatement, where the fruit and the terroir take the starring roles rather than the winemaking, and he aims to intervene as little as possible in both the vineyard and cellar. His reds receive no more than 30% new wood for ageing, and they are neither fined nor filtered before bottling to ensure the maximum expression of the wine. Never flashy, these are wines which are reticent in youth but develop beautifully into real classics.

0.54 hectares, planted in 1961. Vibrant black to the rim with a nose of mineral black fruits, some juicy notes but generally more restrained, floral with dark fruits – black cherry, blackcurrant almost. On the palate, more blackcurrant fruit, rich, layered, grilled and toasty, really alluring but needs a bit of time to round the plentiful ripe tannins and going to a grilled, perfumed, intense finish. Drink 2024-2029
