Information
Founded in 1999, the estate brings together the finest vineyard holdings patiently acquired by the Boisset family since the 1960s, reflecting a meticulous and uncompromising vision of Burgundian winemaking. The story began in 1964 with the purchase of Les Evocelles in Gevrey-Chambertin, the family’s very first parcel. Over the decades, the vineyard steadily expanded to include some of the Côte de Nuits’ and Côte de Beaune’s most celebrated appellations.
Today, the estate extends across around 52 hectares divided between more than 60 individual parcels. Most are planted to Pinot Noir, alongside a smaller proportion of Chardonnay, including several exceptional Grands Crus and Premiers Crus such as Musigny, Bonnes-Mares, Clos de Vougeot, Charlemagne and Bâtard-Montrachet.
Organic farming came first, followed by biodynamic viticulture, certified since 2001, driven by the conviction that living, healthy soils produce wines of greater purity and more compelling expression. Both Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are harvested by hand before each parcel is vinified separately. Fermentations rely on native yeasts, while carefully judged ageing allows each terroir to reveal its individual character.
The wines are defined by their aromatic definition, precise energy and depth, combining finesse with outstanding ageing potential. Whether mineral-driven whites or elegant reds, they rank among the finest wines of contemporary Burgundy and are highly sought after by collectors and fine-wine lovers around the world.
Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru, founded in 1110, is a legendary Burgundy climat. Its limestone bedrock underlies a soil of pebbles and silt. Yields are intentionally kept low, at 10hl/hectare. The wine is matured for around 17 months in 50% new barrels. The wine has a deep garnet-red appearance. The bouquet bursts with fragrant floral scents (peony, violet). The palate is smooth, with tart aromas of small berries such as raspberry. The end of the palate offers refreshing spicy notes such as mint and licorice. It is virtually ageless in great vintages, remaining able to show great youth after 30 years of cellaring.
