Camille & Guillaume Boillot· Meursault
About the domain.
Two names share this label, and that is the first thing worth knowing about it. The Boillots are an old Burgundian clan with branches scattered across the Côte de Beaune, but this particular address is young, Camille and Guillaume bottled their first wines in 2018, and the domaine is still finding the edges of its own voice.
What drew me was the reach of the holdings rather than their scale. Six and a half hectares is modest, yet it stretches from a parcel of old Volnay premier cru, planted in 1978, down into the Chardonnay heart of Meursault and across to Puligny. That is an unusually serious hand of cards for a first-generation house.
The wines are raised with a light touch and bottled without fining or filtration, and they carry the transparency I look for in young growers. I import the Boillots because I would rather back a promising start early than chase it once the rest of the trade has caught on.
