Jean-Marc Boillot
About Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot
Jean-Marc Boillot is one of the most prominent producers in the white Burgundy ‘mecca’ of Puligny-Montrachet. Coming from the prestigious Boillot family, Jean-Marc worked at Olivier Leflaive as the winemaker for five years before creating his own estate in 1985. Boillot inherited most of the vineyards he farms today from his grandfathers, Henri Boillot and Etienne Sauzet (maternal); the pedigree at this estate is therefore unrivalled!
Holding some of the best terroirs in Puligny-Montrachet, Boillot stands alongside current greats like Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey and Arnaud Ente. His Chardonnays are sensational, but unlike some of his peers still remarkably affordable. Today, with the assistance of his children (Lydie and Benjamin) J.M. Boillot crafts ten whites across Côte de Beaune, seven in Puligny-Montrachet.

The 2018 Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru has a very classy, quite understated bouquet, especially considering the vintage, with fleeting scents of orange blossom, crushed flint and a touch of flaked almonds. The palate is well balanced with intense citrus fruit, orange zest and peach all laced with lemongrass and white pepper. This fans out beautifully towards the finish, completing a superb Bâtard-Montrachet from Jean-Marc Boillot.Inc. TAX€556.13 -

Delicious pale lemon colour with a few green reflexes. Power in a chiselled rather than a fat style. There is nonetheless huge opulence on the palate, luxurious white fruit, ripe pears, not going as far as peach, yet still managing a certain elegance. All in place here. Long and ripely scented finish. Tasted: November 2021Inc. TAX€1,710.37 -

A pale colour with a lime tint. Backward but powerful, as it should be. Taking time to build on the palate, with a mineral thread of acidity, pure white fruit, expertly poised. There may be weightier examples around, but this is certainly very fine. Drink from 2030-2040. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. TAX€842.35 -

Fresh pale lemon and lime. A return to classicism after the sultry southern style of the last Mâcon. The Bourgogne is really quite chiselled – samples served cool – with a little biscuity touch as part of the prolonged finish.Inc. TAX€190.32 -

Pale with a lime streak. This is classically Montagny with the crushed shell note on the nose. Very intense overall, pure white fruit, just a light lemon rinse, stretching out nicely at the finish. Does just what it should.Inc. TAX€297.34 -
(6x75cl) 2005Vinous (90+)
Bright, dark red-ruby. Tight, high-pitched nose suggests blackberry, licorice, mint and flowers, complicated by oak spices and an inky nuance. Rich and full but a bit youthfully unforthcoming, with a distinctly primary character to its dark fruit flavors. This very fresh, young wine seems rather musclebound today, but its freshness and energy suggest it will reward six or seven years of cellaring.Inc. TAX€3,929.04 -

Wine Advocate (94)
Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, the 2014 Puligny Montrachet 1Er Cru Champ Canet from Boillot has a very fine stony, gunflint and pressed flower-scented bouquet. There is a soupçon of broodiness here although it does open nicely on the palate with pretty dried apricot and Clementine notes. This is a very subtle Puligny, not overt and really open at the moment, but you have to stand back and admire the precision and detail on the finish.Inc. TAX€257.95 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94)
Pale lemon in colour. A very stylish nose, more elegance than the Referts, and a little fuller in body than La Garenne. The Champ Canet manages to be both floral and with an ideal ripeness of fruit on the nose, pure white orchard fruit across the palate, and backed by well-judged oak in the usual Jean-Marc Boillot vanilla style. Good clean acidity to finish, properly persistence. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. TAX€745.92 -

Lemon and lime colour. The fruit comes across a little riper, with some plum skins. Notably generous on the palate but still with excellent acidity, an intriguing little touch of liquorice further back, quite complex. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Oct 2024.Inc. TAX€139.88 -

Lean lime colour. While the bouquet is quite hidden, this is a less clay influenced Garenne. There is enough fruit flavour on the palate, though not very much flesh, and fair persistence. Drink from 2028-2033. Tasted Oct 2024.Inc. TAX€766.54 -

Tasted blind at the annual Burgfest tasting, the 2014 Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru la Truffière is initially a little awkward on the nose, but it coalesces in the glass, gaining more intensity and eventually unveiling fine pressed flower scents with a hint of marmalade. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, very focused and poised, saline in the mouth with a brisk, poised and energetic finish, a touch of blackcurrant leaf on the aftertaste. This is a well-crafted and quite compelling wine from J-M Boillot.Inc. TAX€264.53 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93)
More lemon than lime in the colour. More fruit than flowers in the bouquet. A slightly richer style of wine this year, with just enough tension behind, but these days the site is riper than in the past. There is certainly plenty of wine here. A more muscular Puligny.

Pale lemon. Quite a classy nose, still restrained but you can see a lot more to come beneath. There’s a lovely thread throughout, attractively ripe fruit, but no exotic flavours, fine tension in the middle of the palate and excellent length. Drink from 2030-2036. Tasted Oct 2024.Inc. TAX€182.35 -
Vinous (91-93)
(aging in 25% new oak, like all of these premier crus except for the Truffière): Pale, bright yellow. Aromas of yellow peach, fresh apricot, flowers and spices communicate a faintly exotic character. Rich, spicy and concentrated, with its stone fruit and citrus flavors accented by clove and anise notes. A fairly large-scaled premier cru but not at all heavy, thanks to its stony underpinning and adamant dryness. The chewy finish delivers lovely subtle rising length, very good grip and a hint of acacia flower.Inc. TAX€188.32 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94)
Pale primrose. A fine bouquet with some complexity, fruit as white as it is yellow, this has really maintained its grip though the fruit is at its fleshiest here, quite a long finish. Does it have quite the nervous intensity at the back? That is not really what Combettes is about. Fruit marries well with the oak here, a delicious and fairly accessible Combettes. Tasted: November 2021Inc. TAX€1,041.12 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (93)
82% down in production I am told, meaning just 1 x 350 litre barrel, a new one. Pale lemon with a light green tint. Quite a concentration on the bouquet, fruit and oak integrated. Excellent tension behind, the fruit being concentrated enough to stand up to the oak, and the finish shows significant promise. This will come out well – if you can find any! Drink from 2026-2032. Tasted: November 2022Inc. TAX€944.88 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (94)
Pale in colour, with a particularly attractive nose, discreet but with a fine balance between summer flowers and ripe apples. Not over demonstrative on the palate, but the fruit fills out the palate with complex nuances in the orchard fruit profile, and exceptional length. Drink from 2029-2037. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. TAX€794.88 -
Jasper Morris Inside Burgundy (92)
Very pale colour. Pure white fruit, not quite so characterful, a little more flesh behind, but showing also the sense of fragility which I often find in Combettes these days. The fruit does not persist quite so well at the back as the best of the Jean-Marc Boillot 1ers Crus. Drink from 2028-2034. Tasted Oct 2024.Inc. TAX€176.35
