Originally based in Volnay, the family expanded to Gevrey-Chambertin in the 1950s. Pierre Boillot manages vineyards across both Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, producing wines that emphasize purity and terroir expression. His approach marries traditional practices with meticulous vineyard management, resulting in wines of finesse and authenticity.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eProducer and Winemaker\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003ePierre Boillot, the current proprietor and winemaker, oversees the estate’s operations. He employs sustainable farming practices, known as “lutte raisonnée,” minimizing chemical interventions and promoting soil health. In the cellar, Pierre favors traditional methods: grapes are destemmed, fermentation occurs with indigenous yeasts, and aging is conducted in French oak barrels. His philosophy centers on crafting wines that reflect their origin, showcasing the unique characteristics of each vineyard site.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eVineyards and Micro Climate\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe “Les Brouillards” vineyard, classified as Premier Cru, is situated in the Volnay appellation of the Côte de Beaune.

Fermentation proceeds naturally with indigenous yeasts over approximately 18 days, incorporating one to two punch-downs daily. The wine is then aged for 16 to 18 months in French oak barrels, with about 30% being new oak. Bottling is done without fining or filtration, preserving the wine’s integrity.\u003cspan class=\"Apple-converted-space\"\u003e  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan class=\"s1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eThe 2017 “Les Brouillards” exhibits a vivid magenta hue.
