Domaine Louis Boillot, though widely celebrated for its exceptional collection of old-vine red Burgundies, applies the same meticulous precision to its white wines. This Bourgogne Blanc is crafted from Chardonnay vines grown on clay-limestone soils, often situated near the prestigious borders of Meursault. Boillot's low-intervention philosophy shines through in the cellar, where gentle pressing, indigenous yeast fermentation, and careful aging in French oak barrels with minimal new oak yield a white Burgundy of remarkable purity. The wine beautifully balances the natural richness of the grape with a vibrant, mineral-driven tension, reflecting the storied heritage of the Boillot family and their commitment to expressing the true voice of the terroir.

Established by Louis Boillot after he split from his family's estate in Volnay, Domaine Louis Boillot is now based in Chambolle-Musigny, Burgundy, France, where he shares winemaking facilities with his partner, Ghislaine Barthod. Boillot meticulously farms an exceptional collection of old-vine parcels spanning prestigious terroirs in both the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, including Volnay, Pommard, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Puligny-Montrachet. His traditional, low-intervention philosophy utilizes gentle extraction and judicious oak aging to preserve the pristine, mineral-driven purity of each unique climat. The estate is highly celebrated for its elegant, terroir-expressive Pinot Noirs and precise, vibrant Chardonnays, including standout expressions from Volnay Premier Cru and Meursault Les Vireuils.
