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 | A vineyard for intimates or the true Bourguignon. Le Cailleret takes its name from the pebbles (cailloux) that occur in the soil in addition, of course, to the lime. Le Cailleret is separated by a wall from the most famous grand cru namely Le Montrachet. |

Once a week there is batonnage. |
