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.

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€998.14 -
(1x75cl) 2015Vinous (92)
Bright, light yellow. Lively scents of lemon zest and clove, with a touch of leesy reduction. Silky and fine-grained, with white peach and lemon flavors nicely framed by harmonious acidity. The Garenne is more generous than this wine, noted Jean-Marc Boillot, but the Referts has been finer and more elegant since the end of the fermentation. A very suave 2015 with an impression of delicacy, in spite of its alcohol close to 14%.Inc. TAX€202.62 -
Vinous (91)
Palish bright yellow. Ripe yellow peach on the nose, along with more exotic suggestions and a touch of reduction. Smooth, spicy and concentrated but at the same time taut and precise in spite of its impression of sucrosité. Expands in the mouth, finishing tactile, dusty and long. This has the balance to repay cellaring.Inc. TAX€168.53 -

Pale lemon and lime. The 20222 Les Referts has notably more density than the Garenne, a touch of salt on the citrus at the back of the palate, with generous yellow plum fruit in between. Good length. Drink from 2028-2035. Tasted: October 2023.Inc. TAX€732.48 -

Pale lemon and lime. The Referts has immediately more bouquet than Garenne, a fresh white orchard fruit. This builds steadily on the palate, with considerable distinction, excellent energy, and fresh acidity. Stylish and long. Drink from 2029-2035. Tasted Oct 2024.Inc. TAX€149.64 -

Pale lemon colour. A lean and crisp style of Puligny in 2021. Rather lovely on the palate, some citrus some riper fruit, more floral than the Meursault, with a clean poised and balanced finish. Drink from 2025-2028. Tasted: November 2022Inc. TAX€642.48 -
