About the winemaker
In 2022, Camille and Guillaume started their domain in Meursault. Camille comes from a wine family in Pommard and we know Guillaume from his family estate Henri Boillot. Guillaume has made all red wines here since 2012 and, from 2020, also all white wines. The wines at this new family estate are made almost identically in style to those at the family estate. Vinification integral for the red wines and a classic white wine making for the white wines. The difference is the élevage, which is slightly shorter and the wines are therefore slightly more refined in style. The vineyards work organically with a biodynamic approach.

Details
| Vineyard | Champans is an important premier cru in the Volnay appellation. It is a fairly steep vineyard with strongly calcareous soil. At the bottom there is more clay in the subsoil. |
|---|---|
| Vinification | Camille and Guillaume Boillot use red wine production according to vinification integrale. A unique method in which whole grapes are placed directly in the barrel and the entire vinification takes place in the barrel. All aromas are thus well preserved. All barriques used for this wine are new. |
