Description
About the Producer
After World War II, André Boyer inherited the Domaine from his mother Lucie, who up until then had been running the winery entirely by herself. In 1945 André married Juliette Devèze who was born and raised in the adjoining village of Puligny Montrachet. Yves their son continued his families tradition and married Marie Cécile Martenot, the daughter of a winemaker in Meursault. Vincent Boyer their son is now the newest owner of the Domaine. The Domaine has in total 10 hectares of vineyards spread across various locations of the Côte de Beaune including Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, Auxey-Duresses and Pommard. From 1997 to 2007 the Domaine acquired more parcels of land giving them a wider selection of appellations including Meursault «Les Tillets» Meursault 1er Cru «Les Perrieres» and Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru «Le Cailleret». The vines and soil give the wine its great quality which is why it is so important to manage them with both respect and care. To ensure that the wine produced is of high quality, traditional methods are used involving little or no product (sprays, chemicals etc) soil cultivation, crop care, green harvest, and hand picking. Using these old fashioned methods and less machinery allows for our wines to develop naturally which means we are very similar to organic wine making, however we don't have the 'Bio' label.
