Domaine Jean Marc Boillot

From a family with extensive vineyard land, Jean-Marc served as winemaker to Puligny negociant Olivier Leflaive Freres in the 1980s before setting up on his own. His holdings, split equally between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, occupy choice Cote de Beaune premier cru sites in Beaune, Pommard, Volnay, Meursault and Puligny. The wines are immensely popular with France`s 3-star restaurants, illustrating the best of the modern winemaking idiom. Finely-crafted, richly-textured whites receive extensive lees beating and generous new oak; bright, deeply-coloured, aromatic reds benefit from long, pre-fermentation maceration. Since starting his own small negociant business Jean-Marc has been making a special cuvée from the  Chalonnais for Domaine Direct – a magically proportioned premier cru Montagny. A Languedoc wine venture – in the Pic-Saint-Loup sector, near Montpellier – came on stream in 2001, offering characterful red and white vin de pays d’Oc with an inimitable Boillot signature.
