In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Pale and luminous, this 2022 white arrives with lime and tropical stone fruit climbing over a toasty oak frame that feels woven in rather than imposed. The palate is creamy from weekly bâtonnage during its 11 months in barrel, yet never heavy, with mouthwatering snap that speaks to genuine balance. At 13% ABV and bone-dry, the vibrant acidity (3.5g/L) preserves the wine's mineral precision — limestone bedrock beneath the fruit rather than a shout for attention.

The Winery — Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot

Lydie Boillot and her husband François now steer this storied domaine, known across Burgundy for restraint and elegance. They inherited a legacy of nearly a century of vineyard age when Jean-Marc stepped back, and have built their own reputation through a lighter touch that lets terroir speak. The 1931-planted vines on chalk-limestone soils above Lugny yielded tiny quantities of concentrated fruit, hand-harvested on 5 September. The 2022 growing season recovered from years of spring frost and hail, blessing the Mâconnais with both abundance and quality. Four summer heatwaves preceded the cooler early months, preserving the fruit's acidity through a textbook vintage.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This is how Burgundy's limestone heritage translates into everyday drinking. Pair with roasted poultry, creamy sauces, white fish, soft cheeses, and mushroom dishes — the classic Burgundy pivot. If you've been exploring our Chardonnay selection, you'll recognize the quiet authority that runs through the finest examples from France. Chill and serve at your next weeknight roast or summer lunch. Jancis Robinson and Wine Spectator both awarded it 90 points, affirming what the glass already tells you — why these Boillot whites have earned three decades of trust.
