In the Glass — Tasting Notes

Bright lemon hue with vibrant citrus on the nose, followed by candied pear and ripe peach that stays focused and mineral-driven. A whisper of white chocolate and grainy texture speak to whole-bunch pressing and 15 months on fine lees. Oak sits lightly in the background, adding body without loudness. At 13% alcohol, this is a wine built for the table.

The Winery — Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot

Founded in 1985 when Jean-Marc Boillot left his post as winemaker to pursue his own vision, the domaine expanded through inheritance—vines in Pommard and Volnay from his grandfather in 1988, and a third of Domaine Etienne Sauzet from his grandmother a decade later. Now run by his daughter Lydie and her husband François Alzingre, the estate spans 10 hectares across the Côte d'Or. The whites remain restrained and elegant, their philosophy refined by Lydie and François's lighter touch in the cellar. The 2024 fruit comes from two parcels: 75% from Puligny-Montrachet's limestone slopes and 25% from Volnay, both north-east facing at 230 metres. The challenging vintage—marked by heavy rain and mildew pressure—was managed with care, allowing late-summer sunshine to bring the grapes to excellent balance. Fermentation took place in large oak barrels (25% new), followed by 15 months on fine lees, a restrained approach that defines their craft.

At Your Table — Food Pairing & Serving

This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with roasted chicken, poached white fish, and any butter-based sauce. Soft cheeses—Brie, Chaumes, Saint-André—are natural matches. Whether you're exploring our wider Burgundy selection or discovering more from France, this wine proves that restrained elegance and mineral freshness earn their place at any dinner. Serve chilled as an everyday glass or a special Sunday lunch companion.
