Jean-Claude Boisset Puligny Montrachet Premier Cru Les Perrieres

Background

History

In 1961, a tenacious eighteen-year-old, Jean-Claude Boisset founded his eponymous nêgociant winery in Nuits-St.-Georges. An artisan Burgundy producer with an audacious, contemporary style, the winery is housed in a former Ursilines convent where Winemaker Grégory Patriat strives for authentic wines in which human intervention has been kept to a bare, discreet minimum. Utilizing native yeasts and no more than 30% new oak, the wines are concentrated, well-rounded, and naturally expressive of their terroirs.

Regional info

Puligny-Montrachet is one of Burgundy’s most celebrated vineyard areas, where some of the most sought after Chardonnays in the world are produced. It is situated in the Côte de Beaune, and Les Perrières is the name of the Premier Cru vineyard where this wine comes from. The soils are high in limestone, which drains well, and is well suited to the vines.
