Based in Premeaux south of Nuits St Georges, In 1999 Jean-Claude Boiset decided to group together all the vineyard holdings of his various negociant companies over the years. The winery is located however in the old Claudine Deschamps (Madame Jean-Claude Boisset) cellars in Prémeaux. The domaine was put together from the various vineyard holdings through the Boisset acquisitions of Burgundian houses over the years. Pascal produced powerful wines, with heavily extracted in early vintages but clearly was moving softer approach by 2004.

Nearly 40 hectares of vineyard and over 30 different appellations, including six grand crus (Musigny, Bonnes Mares, Clos Vougeot, Charmes Chambertin, Mazoyères, Corton Clos du Roi and Corton Charlemagne), this is one of Burgundy’s leading domaines.

A patchwork of 74 plots covering 42 hectares make up the estate, two-thirds on the Côte de Nuits, one-third on the Côte de Beaune, together producing 36 appellations. At the heart is the diamond set among rubies, the legendary monopole of Vougeot Premier Cru Le Clos Blanc de Vougeot.

Lovingly tended soils, low yields for concentrated fruit, which is then handled with extreme care throughout growing cycle, followed by hand-stitched vinification and ageing for each plot: All of this contributes to a style that is all about elegance and the continual quest for a precise expression of terroir. 

Winery is equipped with oak vats tailored for each appellation. The vibrating sorting table and vertical press both play a key role in bringing out the best in the grapes. For ageing, eight cooperages bring a range of oak nuances depending on the characteristics of each plot and the vintage. This meticulous care extends right through to bottling, done in accordance with the lunar calendar.
