Dubuet-Boillot has an affinity for this site at the top of the slope in thin, poor, well-drained soils. He typically ferments the grapes entirely as whole clusters since he feels that the vines ripen the stems well. The result has a reasonably light colour and a perfumed, cherry-scented fruit with accents of violets and wild herbs. The texture is fine but tannic and grippy, and it has a lovely, lingering line stretching into an impressive finish. This should open well within a year or two and drink for a decade afterwards. ~93 Decanter

THE PRODUCER
Maxime Dubuet-Boillot
Maxime Dubuet-Boillot is a young and dynamic winemaker bringing a fresh perspective to Burgundy's Volnay appellation. After gaining experience with some of the region's top domaines, he returned to his family's vineyards. His approach emphasizes organic viticulture, minimal intervention, and a deep respect for the terroir. Maxime Dubuet-Boillot was born in 1989. He is the grandson of a farmer from Corberon and a vigneron from Volnay. His grandfather Pierre Boillot founded the family estate. Maxime initially pursued auto racing as a mechanic for The 24 Hours of Le Mans for 10 years before returning to the family vineyards. He obtained degrees in viticulture, oenology and sales from the Lycée Viticole de Beaune. He did internships with the Boillot family and at the Domaine de Nuits Saint Georges.
