En Primeur | Domaine Jean-Marc Boillot
Bearing the name of founder Jean-Marc, this domaine is now managed by his daughter Lydie and husband François. This outstanding estate owes its origin to an inheritance from Jean-Marc’s grandfather, Etienne Sauzet. Jean-Marc learnt his trade as the Sauzet winemaker before setting up his own 11-hectare domaine with some of the finest vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. More recently they have purchased a further 10 hectares in the Mâconnais. Their vinification process is designed to express the purity of Puligny fruit: a short cold settling of 24 hours follows pressing, followed by 11 months élevage with a weekly bâtonnage before bottling.

Floral nose but lots more concentration and delivery than the average Mâcon Chardonnay. Drink 2023 – 2029

Pale colour with a light green tint. Attractive enough, in a less ripe style, lime and fresh greengage. Medium bodied, and ready soon. Less flesh than most recent vintages, understandably. Drink from 2023-2025.
2021 Montagny 1er Cru Jean-Marc Boillot

Jasper Morris MW, December 2022, Score: 88
The only Montagny cuvée in 2021. A light nose, a little bit chiselled. Light to medium weight, the oak a little more present than the concentration of fruit. Agreeable, to drink up relatively early. This weighs in at 13.5%. Drink from 2024-2026.
