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 lieu-dits Tillets and Narvaux actually have similar characteristics in terms of soil structure, but the major difference is location. Tillets enjoys a more southerly exposition and thus the vineyard has slightly more sunlight. The name of the vineyard refers to the time when this part of the hill was home to many lime trees. These had the name Tille Tillet Or.
Vinification	At Boyer-Martenot, all grapes are hand-picked and, once received in the cellar, pressed with a pneumatic press. Fermentation is temperature controlled and the upbringing is on 225-liter wooden casks and on concrete eggs. One third of these barrels are new and in total there is a 20 month lagering period. Once a week there is batonnage.
