Maison Jean-Claude Boisset

Pinot noir, chardonnay and aligoté wine from the village of Nuits-St-Georges, Côtes de Nuits, Bourgogne, France

Great drinking lifted into the higher echelons of quality.

Originally formed in 1961 with Claudine and Jean-Claude Boisset, the maison is now run by Nathalie & Jean-Charles Boisset.  While originally targeted at the volume market, from 2002 they shifted to the high-end with Gregory Patriat as winemaker in 2002 (from Leroy) and with the development of top Burgundy Domaine de la Vougeraie in 1999.

Paul Zinetti (formerly of Comte Armand) has recently taken over as head-winemaker, bringing an elegant and finessed approach. The wine-making philosophy is focussed on an uncomprismising plot selection, a very limited production, with a minimal intervention approach, respecting the terroir and the character of the vintage. 

The style of the wines are forthright, precise, silky, and resolutely fruity, with excellent ageing potential – perfect for a stylish aperitif or to accompany a meal.
