Domaine Borgeot

Domaine Borgeot is a fourth-generation family domaine based in Rémigny, Burgundy, founded in 1903. The estate is currently managed by brothers Laurent and Pascal Borgeot. The domaine spans 24 hectares across four of Burgundy's finest appellations: Bouzeron, Santenay, Chassagne-Montrachet and Puligny-Montrachet. What sets them apart is their deliberate approach to winemaking—combining Laurent's exuberance with Pascal's measured restraint—and their use of temperature-controlled fermentation paired with selective oak ageing to build complexity without sacrificing the bright, primary fruit character that defines modern Burgundy.

About Domaine Borgeot

The domaine's philosophy centres on sustainable viticulture across vineyards that range from young vines to blocks over 80 years old. The Borgeots ferment their wines in a combination of stainless-steel vats and oak barrels, a technique that preserves aromatic freshness while developing the mineral and textural depth Burgundy demands. Their oak strategy varies by quality tier: the Bourgogne Blanc Côte d'Or uses just 15% new oak, the village-level wines 20–25%, and the 1er Crus 33%, ensuring each wine receives the right amount of weight without overpowering its terroir.

In Santenay, the Borgeots own three distinct vineyard sites. Their 1er Cru 'La Comme' brings great texture and marked salinity, while 'Les Gravières' balances toasty oak richness with fresh acidity. The Santenay Rouge Vieilles Vignes comes from 80-year-old Pinot Noir vines, yielding intense red fruit and supple tannins—a wine of real concentration and elegance.

Puligny-Montrachet represents the estate's flagship expression.

Food Pairing

Domaine Borgeot's whites excel with shellfish, white fish in cream sauces, and rich poultry dishes. The Puligny-Montrachet expressions pair beautifully with lobster, scallops, and soft cheeses. The reds—particularly the Santenay and Chassagne Pinots—suit duck, game birds, mushroom-based risottos, and aged cheeses. The marked salinity in wines like La Comme makes them natural partners for oysters and brined preparations. Older vintages of the 1er Crus will age well through traditional French cuisine—coq au vin, beef in Burgundy sauce, or cassoulet.

What makes Domaine Borgeot different from other Burgundy producers?
