Jean-Claude Boisset, with its contemporary style and
high standards, is the epitome of
the policy of sheer excellence of the Boisset family. The house was
built around
the personality of Jean-Claude Boisset and it represents the love
he has for wines and
its manifestation at every stage of the process, from the choice of
the land to the ageing of the wine…
The old Ursuline convent that now holds Jean-Claude
Boisset, at the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges, is a place apart, infused
with mood that is both calm and mysterious.
The labyrinthine cellars and large walled garden between the rows
of apple trees and well-pruned yew trees, the box hedges and the fruit
trees exude a spiritual harmony that evokes the plenitude of wine.
The ethics of Jean-Claude Boisset can be summed up
in three words: origins, purity
and elegance. Origins means respect for the terroir. Purity, a wine
with a striking taste, without any additives. Elegance means wines
that are produced in limited quantities under meticulous supervision.
Jean-Claude Boisset relies on the talent of a young
winemaker, Grégory Patriat, who puts all of his energy into
the supervision of the vines, a parcel selection that is second to
none, a perfect choice of grapes and exemplary winemaking.
The wines produced by Jean-Claude Boisset like to go
against the grain, from the feminine Pommard 1er Cru, to the rustic
Savigny, full of ripe, tight tannins. The principle never varies:
respect the natural style of the wines and in doing so, enable them
to come into their own.
