In the Glass — Tasting Notes

A ruby-hued Burgundy that unfolds with blackberry and violet, layered with a whisper of clove. Silky tannins and vibrant acidity keep everything in balance—a textbook expression of cool-climate Pinot Noir: restrained, perfumed, and food-friendly. Medium body, bone dry at 12.5% alcohol, built for drinking now yet capable of developing for another five to eight years in a cool cellar.

The Winery — Jean-Claude Boisset

Grégory Patriat, a winemaker trained at the legendary Domaine Leroy, now leads the Nuits-Saint-Georges négociant Jean-Claude Boisset from its base in Les Ursulines—a former convent converted into a gravity-fed winery. His philosophy places the vineyard first. For this 2022, he sourced from five distinct lieux-dits across the Chambolle-Musigny terroir, including celebrated sites like Clos de l'Orme, where many growers believe the wines rival their classified neighbours. The grapes were hand-sorted twice, destemmed, and allowed to macerate for fifteen days on their skins with indigenous yeasts before spending fifteen months in barrel—35% new—to build structure without overwhelming delicate fruit. The 2022 vintage itself was exceptional: despite severe drought across Burgundy, careful management and late-summer rains allowed the vines to produce fruit with compelling aromatics and balancing acidity.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is a wine for roasted chicken, braised beef, mushroom and truffle dishes, game and venison, or the kind of soft cheese that belongs on any French board. Its vibrant acidity and silky tannins make it equally at home with hearty stews, braises, and grilled steak. At village level, it represents one of the finest examples of Burgundy that doesn't demand a collector's wallet—vegan and vegetarian friendly too.
