Jean-Claude Boisset: Burgundy Reimagined
Jean-Claude Boisset is one of Burgundy’s most compelling maisons, blending heritage with avant-garde vision. Founded in 1961 in Nuits-Saint-Georges, the house began as a family endeavor and has grown into a symbol of refined, contemporary Burgundy. Today, under the guidance of Jean-Charles Boisset and the precision winemaking of Grégory Patriat, the estate crafts terroir-driven wines of remarkable purity and depth. Working exclusively with hand-harvested fruit from Burgundy’s most revered appellations, Jean-Claude Boisset is known for minimal intervention, elegance, and a strong architectural aesthetic—from vineyard to bottle.

Sustainability
ean-Claude Boisset follows a minimalist, haute couture approach to winemaking. The estate favors wild yeasts, low sulfur, whole-cluster fermentation for reds, and restrained use of oak to highlight natural expression. All fruit is handpicked from sustainably farmed vineyards, with small-lot vinification to respect the individuality of each parcel. Wines are neither fined nor filtered, allowing the terroir to speak with clarity and finesse. This purist philosophy results in graceful, precise wines that age beautifully and reveal the nuance of their origin.

Awards and Recognition
Jean-Claude Boisset wines have earned international acclaim for their refinement and modern elegance. Signature cuvées such as Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru, Gevrey-Chambertin Premier Cru, and Puligny-Montrachet consistently garner high ratings from Wine Spectator, Decanter, and Wine Advocate. The estate has also received numerous Gold and Platinum Medals at global wine competitions. With its bold design ethos, distinctive house style, and deep respect for Burgundy’s climats, Jean-Claude Boisset has secured its place as a new classic—where innovation meets tradition at the highest level.
