Jean-Claude Boisset

Jean-Claude Boisset set up his small wine house near Gevrey-Chambertin in the early 1960s. He settled in the heart of Nuits-Saint-Georges, in a former Ursuline convent. The spirit of the house can be summed up in three words: origin, purity, elegance.

Grégory Patriat joined the house and in 2002 became Jean-Claude Boisset's "viniculteur". He reconciles the art of winemaking and the art of cultivation, the link between wine and vine, the person through whom wine is born. Grégory has the great luxury of being able to choose his own grapes. He works in symbiosis with "his" winemakers, the very ones who accept his drastic selection conditions and inordinate demands. In the vineyard, the demands are very precise: control of yields, disbudding, green harvesting, organic cultivation of influence.

Jean-Claude Boisset makes authentic wines, where the human hand is as discreet as possible; the wines are concentrated, round and, of course, express their terroir. Man steps aside, the earth does the talking.
