Jean-Claude Boisset Reviews

This wine feels cool and elegant, with the silky texture and floral spice of Chambolle. The fruit contrasts raspberries with rosemary-scented tannins, the herbal character winning out for now. Cellar it to let the fruit evolve.

This single-vineyard wine is a showcase of ripeness—fruity and smooth with great plum and wild strawberry flavors. It’s intensely structured and dense on the palate, however, making it a wine for aging. Drink from 2016.

This is a youthful, fruity wine with crisp yellow-fruit and citrus flavors, with a toastiness from wood aging. Sourced from Saint-Aubin, it has a cool, fresh feel that complements its pristine fruitiness. It’s for drinking soon, but will also improve with age through 2021.

). Opulent, ripe and fruity, this is classic Saint-Aubin. Generous fruitiness is balanced with crisp acidity and touches of minerality and spicy wood. Its fruitiness makes it accessible now, but several years’ aging will make it even better and certainly more complex.

Always a popular vineyard, Beaune Greves produces a full, ripe, intense wine. It shows some signs of wood aging as well as rich strawberry and red plum. It’s delicious already, but this full and complex wine deserves aging. Drink now-2025.

Cellar Selection. While soft and opulent initially this wine reveals a structured, mineral character on the palate. Ripe red cherry and black plum flavors pair well with firm, dry tannins and hints of wood aging. This is an elegant wine that needs aging. Don’t drink before 2017.

Cellar selection. Already impressive, this wine shows great fruit for the vintage as well as structure.  Ripe with black cherries and berries, it has all of Pinot Noir’s rich juiciness, but hints of smoke add complexity as well.  Structured and a shade dark, it needs time to mature.  Drink from 2017.
