Domaine
Jean-Marc Boillot
Jean-Marc Boillot was a 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 winemaker for Olivier Leflaive for the next four years and, at the same time, produced wines from 5-acres of vineyards bottled under his label.
The wines impressed Boillot’s 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.
The Domaine’s vineyard holdings total of 9.7 hectares is spread through 22 crus located between Beaune and Chassagne-Montrachet at the southern tip of the Cote de Beaune. The majority are of premier cru quality.
