Domaine Dubuet-Boillot tasting 2023

During my second visit to the Dubuet-Boillot Estate, I tasted the 2023 1er Crus and their Corton Grand Cru. I have great expectations for the future of this estate.

Let’s go!

This is when wine becomes interesting and moves beyond normal tasting notes.

A Boillot estate

In 2016, Maxime took over the estate from his maternal grandfather, Pierre Boillot. Maxime is at the head of the Dubuet-Boillot Estate today.

Maxime worked at Henri et Gilles Remoriquet (Nuits-Saint-Georges) for eight years before taking the opportunity to return to his family’s holding. He then began to vinify at the Dubuet-Boillot estate, which is comprised of 6.5 hectares in Volnay. He works alongside his uncle, Philippe Boillot, who stepped in for Pierre until its eventual transmission to Maxime. A passionate worker, Maxime started with the Sur Roches terroir in Volnay in order to position this cuvée as the signature of the estate. This move was met with great success.

Since 2017, Maxime has sought to offer a wider range of wines with greater clarity among the domaine’s magnificent climats. He strives brilliantly to produce precise and harmonious cuvées while respecting the environment and family tradition. Good wines and good vibes.

Beaune 1er Cru Blanches Fleurs is a lovely open wine in 2023. Lovely Framboise boost and some gravel notes. Slight caramel hint, presumably a light reduction. Very good freshness with some cherry notes at the top. Delightful … not super concentrated but lively.

(Drink from 2029) – Very Good (89-90p) –
