TASTING_NOTES_HEADING_BLACK

This comes mostly from the ancient planting from the family holding, plus two additional plots since added. Fine medium to deep crimson. There is a deeper thread of concentrated red fruit here with a few darker threads and excellent persistence. Well-judged oaking and a very engaging stylish finish. JASPER MORRIS, INSIDE BURGUNDY

"Pierre Boillot holds firmly to traditional practices and refrains from many modern winemaking techniques to produce a wine of substantial soul. Like an analog waveform etched into vinyl, this wine is the truest expression of its terroir. With vibrant fruit and a silky finish, it’s sure to age gracefully while gaining vintage soul in the years to come." - Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant

Lucien Boillot

Domaine Lucien Boillot & Fils traces its roots to a storied Côte d'Or lineage, with the Boillot family deeply entrenched in both Volnay and Gevrey-Chambertin for generations. Lucien Boillot, originally based in Volnay, made the decisive move to Gevrey-Chambertin in the mid-20th century, seeking to consolidate and expand his vineyard holdings in the Côte de Nuits. His two sons, Pierre and Louis, eventually went their separate ways: Pierre Boillot remained in Gevrey, continuing under the Lucien Boillot & Fils label, while Louis Boillot established his own domaine in Chambolle-Musigny. Pierre maintained a diverse and traditional portfolio, remarkably spanning appellations across both the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune — a rarity in Burgundy today. Under Pierre’s careful stewardship, the domaine has upheld old-school, low-intervention methods, working with old vines and minimal new oak to express the terroir with authenticity. When a little parcel of Perrières was for sale in 2006, Pierre Boillot hedged his offer by proposing a parcel of his Volnay vines to the seller. Despite a series of unlikely events involving a committee of proud Puligny residents who clamored to protect the parcel from an ‘outsider’, Pierre’s offer turned out to be too good to pass up, and he acquired the vines. This white is a rare pearl: floral on the nose, with volume and roundness on the palate, and a long, long finish.
