✨ Technical Specifications
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.
🍾 About the Producer
Domaine Louis Boillot was established in 2002 when Louis Boillot parted ways with his brother Pierre at their family estate, Domaine Lucien Boillot in Gevrey-Chambertin. Relocating to Chambolle-Musigny alongside his partner, esteemed vigneronne Ghislaine Barthod, Louis established cellars that benefit from four generations of ancestral holdings across premier terroirs in both the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits. Today, Louis and his son Clément meticulously tend an extraordinary collection of old vines—frequently exceeding 50 to nearly 100 years of age—rooted in complex jurassic limestone, stony marl, and clay. Viticulture adheres strictly to organic principles and lutte raisonnée, eliminating synthetic chemicals and emphasizing rigorous ploughing. Winemaking is classical and restrained, favoring complete destemming, cool pre-fermentation macerations, gentle extractions, and minimal new oak maturation (typically under 30%). Celebrated benchmark expressions include Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru Cherbaudes, Gevrey-Chambertin Les Évocelles, Volnay Premier Cru Les Angles, and Pommard Premier Cru Les Croix Noires, all distinguished by seamless purity, textural elegance, and terroir transparency.
