Domaine Boyer-Martenot

Vincent Boyer

Vincent Boyer is the fourth generation in his family at the estate, and he took charge of this fine estate in Meursault at an early age. His attention to the vineyards and dedication in the cellar have resulted in wines of great terroir expression and Meursault typicity. The family's vineyard holdings have a series of remarkable lieux-dits and premiers crus, which are the envy of many a village winemaker. Vincent works with natural yeasts, uses little new wood and concrete eggs, and bottles his wines with little sulfite. Vincent's dedication to the family's vineyards and vision for the art of winemaking is evident in his wines. All 10 hectares of the vineyard are farmed by Vincent according to the rules of organic viticulture. He thus uses no herbicides or pesticides, applies a vendange vert and harvests entirely by hand. Domaine Boyer-Martenot is one of the hidden treasures of the Meursault area. Website: www.boyer-martenot.com

Burgundy Wines

In fact, the Burgundy wine region consists of six different areas. The most northerly is Chablis where only white wines are made on the unique chalk soils. The Côte de Nuits can be found between Dijon and Beaune, a sub-region where mainly red wines are made. Here you can find Grand Crus such as Clos de Vougeot, Echézeaux and Mazis-Chambertin. Between Beaune and Chalon-sur-Saone lies the Côte de Beaune. A region where both white and red are made, but the white wines from villages such as Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet have almost reached cult status. Chalonnais begins south of Chassagne-Montrachet, an area with villages such as Rully and Mercurey. Here wines are made with a wonderful price-quality ratio. The most famous white wines from the south in Burgundy, the Maconnais, bear names such as Pouilly-Fuissé, Saint-Véran and Mâcon. A little further south is the Beaujolais, also part of Burgundy. No pinot noir here, but gamay for the red wines
