About the Winery Jean Boillot Shaun and Mike visit Jean-Marc Boillot
Jean-Marc Boillot is a star of the Cote d'Or. Few Burgundians are as talented in producing both whites and reds as Boillot. Few also have such a clear vision of what great Burgundy should taste like. With no fewer than 21 appellations at his disposal, he manages to produce seductively rich, dense and concentrated whites and reds in all years.� Per-Henrik Mansson, Wine Spectator Boillot was one of the younger generation in Burgundy who was determined to improve his family's wines. In 1984, after vinifying 13 vintages at the family's domaine Henri Boillot, Jean-Marc walked out in protest, intent on producing highly concentrated, rich and ripe wines. He became the wine-maker for Olivier Leflaive for the next four years, and at the same time produced wines from 5 acres of vineyards, bottled under his own label. The wines impressed Boillots grandfather, who bequest half his vineyard to Jean-Marc. Boillot runs his domaine from his grandfather Henri Boillot's house and cellars in the village of Pommard. Jean-Marc's maternal grandfather was the late Etienne Sauzet, from whom he also inherited exceptional vineyards. The soils are calcareous clay, which Boillot has brought into balance by using only organic fertilizers, with biological insecticides and copper-sulfate fungicide. The vines are pruned in single guyot style. Yields are low, averaging 38 hectoliters per hectare. The harvest is 85% destemmed, depending upon the vintage. Cuvaison lasts for 21 days in stainless steel. Fermentation is in 25% new wood, Allier oak, medium toast. The red wines are lightly fined and given a Kieselguhr filtration at bottling. Total production averages 4, 200 cases annually.
