Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot

The Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot, located in the prestigious village of Pommard in Burgundy, is a winery renowned for its wines of remarkable finesse and complexity. With a rich history and know-how handed down from generation to generation, the domaine has forged an enviable reputation for its white and red wines from some of the finest terroirs in the Côte de Beaune. Jean-Marc Boillot, grandson of Étienne Sauzet, a legendary figure in Burgundy winegrowing, founded his own domaine in the 1980s. Passionate and exacting, he quickly established himself as one of Burgundy's most talented winemakers, producing wines that capture all the richness and elegance of Burgundy's great terroirs.

Today, Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot is renowned for its wines from prestigious appellations, notably Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard and Volnay. Each cuvée is carefully crafted, reflecting the authenticity of the terroir and the meticulous approach of a winemaker committed to traditional, environmentally-friendly methods.

The Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot came into being in the 1980s when Jean-Marc Boillot, after working for several renowned Burgundy estates, decided to devote himself to his own project. Grandson of Étienne Sauzet, an emblematic name in Puligny-Montrachet, Jean-Marc Boillot has inherited an exceptional winegrowing heritage and exceptional know-how. With a rigorous approach and attention to detail, he has set out to produce refined wines that express the essence of each parcel.

Today, the domaine covers some ten hectares, spread over several prestigious Côte de Beaune appellations, including Puligny-Montrachet, Pommard, Volnay and Montagny. The estate's plots are planted on a variety of limestone and clay soils, terrains that provide the ideal conditions for Burgundian grape varieties, mainly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, to flourish.

Under the management of Jean-Marc, then his daughter Lydie and son-in-law François, the estate has succeeded in combining tradition and modernity. Today, Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot is recognized for its complex, mineral white wines, as well as for its elegant, structured reds, which perfectly illustrate the richness and diversity of Burgundy terroirs.

At Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot, viticulture is practiced with respect for terroir and nature. Jean-Marc Boillot and his team adopt integrated viticulture practices, favoring gentle, natural methods to maintain the ecological balance in their vineyards. The estate has been converting to organic farming since 2023. Interventions in the vineyards are limited, and the use of chemicals is restricted to the strict minimum. The estate favors practices such as manual tillage of the soil, natural grass cover and treatments based on organic products to limit the use of synthetic products. These practices help preserve biodiversity and soil structure, which are essential for the production of high-quality grapes.

In the cellar, Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot focuses on respectful winemaking, with no unnecessary interventions, to preserve the purity and authenticity of the grapes. Fermentations are carried out naturally, using indigenous yeasts, and oak ageing is controlled to avoid masking the fruit's aromas. Thanks to this meticulous approach, each Domaine cuvée reflects the authentic expression of its terroir, offering precise, elegant wines of great complexity.
