About the winemaker This domain has one of the most modest winemakers in the village of Meursault. The son of Yves Boyer, Vincent, currently vinifies the wines. Vincent has access to remarkable vineyards in Meursault such as L'Ormeau, Les Tillets, Les Narvaux, Les Genevrières and Charmes. His wines are all textbook examples of the class, which the chardonnay grape can achieve in the Côte de Beaune. They are wines that can be kept for a very long time, but are also pleasant to drink when young.

Details

Vineyard	The vineyard for this wine is located outside of Meursault. This is not without reason. Aligoté yields better in a soil that is more fertile and thus the grape is planted away from the well-known vineyards, out of the beautiful village of Meursault
Vinification	At Boyer-Martenot, all grapes are hand-picked and, upon receipt in the cellar, pressed with a pneumatic press. Fermentation is temperature controlled and the upbringing is on 225 liter wooden casks and concrete eggs. With this aligoté, Vincent Boyer chose to use only used barrels.
