Jean-Marc Boillot

Jean-Marc Boillot is a highly regarded winemaker based in Burgundy, known for producing wines that reflect the purity and complexity of the region’s terroir. He comes from a family with deep roots in Burgundy viticulture, but established his own domaine with a focus on creating wines that embody the essence of the Côte de Beaune. Working primarily with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, Boillot’s wines are celebrated for their balance, elegance, and ability to age gracefully. He is known for a meticulous, hands-on approach to winemaking, using traditional techniques such as fermentation with wild yeasts, minimal intervention, and judicious oak use to allow the vineyards and vintages to shine through. His reds, especially from premier and grand cru sites, are lauded for their fine tannins, purity, and subtle complexity, while his whites, particularly from Meursault, show a harmonious balance of richness and fresh acidity. Boillot's wines, though not as commercially famous as some of Burgundy’s biggest names, have earned a devoted following for their understated sophistication and true expression of terroir. Some of his most notable wines include Meursault, Pommard, Volnay, Corton-Charlemagne, and Clos de la Roche.
