Jean-Marc Boillot

Jean-Marc Boillot

Jean-Marc Boillot is the grandson of Etienne Sauzet and was a winemaker with Olivier Leflaive. With such background and experience, it should come as no surprise that he makes exceptional wines. He is one of the few in Burgundy who makes excellent, both white and red. He founded his mansion in 1985, with leased land, but quickly added plots of land to his grandfather (Volnay and Pommard) and his grandmother (whites, who are a third of Domaine Etienne Sauzet). All whites, with the exception of Grand Cru, are vinified in the same way: pressing whole bunches, sieving for 24 hours, then straight into 25-30% new barrels, stirring, once a week the sludge and bottling before the next harvest. They are clean, fresh, attractive wines. The reds are separated into grains and passed through a dove bath before fermentation. This is followed by 13 months of aging in 50% new barrels and another 6 months of maturation in a tank before the wine is bottled.

Burgundy

In this region, red wines are produced from a single variety - Pinot Noir, but the wines actually differ in quality from light and ordinary to rich, complex, and truly majestic. Burgundy is famous for its highly 'crushed' vineyards, and the general belief is that the smaller the vineyard area, the better the wine. The best Burgundy wines come from Côte d'Or, a strip of just 30 miles, divided in the center into 2 separate parts; Côte de Nuits to the north and Côte de Beaune to the south. The fame of Côte de Nuits lies in the red wines - here, 95% of red wines are produced from the Pinot Noir grape. Naturally, some of the best, age-worthy, most exotic, and expensive wines are also found here. Côte de Beaune produces approximately 38% white wine, 60% red, and 2% sparkling. The variety for white wine is exclusively Chardonnay, and the quality ranges from the best, Montrachets and Corton Charlemagnes, Meursault, Puligny, and Chassagne to the more ordinary Macon Blanc. The former traditionally age in small oak barrels, while the wines from Macon are usually lighter in character and correspondingly offer a good quality-to-price ratio. The red wines from Beaune do not possess the fame of their 'brothers' from Côte de Nuits, with exceptions being those from Pommard, Corton, and Volnay. Generally, they are lighter in style, but depending on the vintage, they can show potential that successfully rivals Côte de Nuits and beyond.

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is the dominant red wine grape of Burgundy, a challenge for every single vine grower and wine producer. It can be found in Germany (as Spätburgunder), Italy (Pino Nero), Chile, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. The wines show a specific aroma of red berries and cherry depending on the vinification method employed - from fresh red cherries in lighter wines to stewed black cherries in weightier examples, many of them also showing hints of earthy flavours.
