Jean Marc Boillot worked with his grandfather Henri Boillot between the late sixties and 1984 when he became the winemaker for OlivierLeflaive for a period of five years before establishing his own domaine following the inheritance of vineyards from his grandfather and latermaternal grandmother, a daughter of Etienne Sauzet. Many of Jean-Marc's extended family are involved in winemaking, including his daughter Lydia and son Benjamin
These superb wines themselves are renowned for their lifted aromas and purity. The reds are all vinified in the same manner, left on lees for their entire ageing and given 50% oak. The whites are opulent and round but very focused and only gently oaked. Jean-Marc doesn't like his wines to be too dry but prefers them rich and generous.
