Camille & Guillaume Boillot
Burgundy
A new Meursault generation, bringing fresh energy to family terroirs and producing refined wines that balance Burgundian tradition with precision
Meursault - New Generation White Burgundy
Camille & Guillaume Boillot embody a new rhythm in Meursault. Heirs to a long Burgundian lineage, they approach their family parcels with a clear, almost architectural precision. What emerges is not a break from tradition, but a re-reading of it. Less weight, more definition. Less demonstration, more intention. Their wines capture Meursault in motion, grounded in its heritage yet unmistakably contemporary.
Terroirs
The estate is rooted primarily in Meursault, across a mosaic of village and premier cru parcels. Marl-limestone soils dominate, bringing the natural breadth and texture associated with the appellation, while subtle variations in exposure and altitude introduce nuance and tension across the range.
Viticulture
Sustainable farming, steadily moving toward organic practices. Thoughtful soil work, minimal intervention, and a constant focus on balance in the vineyard. Yields are carefully controlled to preserve both concentration and energy.
Vinification
Gentle pressing to retain purity of fruit. Fermentation takes place in oak barrels with indigenous yeasts, allowing each parcel to express itself without artifice. The approach is measured, with no desire to over-shape the wine.
Élevage
Ageing lasts between twelve and sixteen months in barrel, with a restrained use of new oak. The goal is integration, not imprint. Lees are worked lightly, contributing texture without masking the wine’s underlying structure.
Style and ageing potential
These are Meursaults that trade opulence for clarity. The richness of the appellation is present, but carried by a line of freshness and precision that defines the wines from the first sip. With time, they gain depth and complexity without losing their tension. Drinking window typically spans seven to fifteen years, depending on the cuvée and vintage.
