Description

Chardonnay is hand picked and whole bunch pressed to ensure lower levels of oxidation. The juice was then fermented in 350 litre oak barrels, 25% of which new oak. Malolactic fermentation took place and the wine aged on fine lees for 11 months with regular bâtonnage, adding body and complexity of aromas to the wine. The nose is floral with stone fruit, verbena and a saline note. The palate is displays the hallmark of the domaine: excellent oak balance, an alluring texture and superb balance.

Jean-Marc Boillot is a grandson of Etienne Sauzet, and was previously winemaker for Olivier Leflaive. With that mixture of winemaking pedigree and experience it comes as no surprise that Jean-Marc Boillot makes sensational wines. He is one of those rare commodities in Burgundy, a winemaker who produces both red and white wines of the highest quality. Now assisted by daughter Lydie and son Benjamin, Jean-Marc Boillot set up his own domaine in 1985. He started with some rented vines in Pommard, adding Volnay and Pommard from his grandfather’s side in 1988 and the whites, a one-third share of Domaine Etienne Sauzet, from his grandmother in 1991. Including generic burgundy, the domaine now exploits 11 hectares, five red and six white, with the same volume again in négociant cuvées of white wines, especially from the Côte Chalonnaise.

Food pairing: Dressed crab, langoustines in herb butter sauce, Andouille sausage, grilled trout, duck rillet, roast halibut or chicken.
