Domaine Lucien Boillot et Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Perrière 2023

The family business of Lucien Boillot & Fils has been steered quietly and sensitively by Pierre and Sophie Boillot since 2003, representing the 7th generation of this famous Burgundian family. The Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru La Perrière comes from one of the smallest plots in the estate, sitting on the illustrious slope known locally as the Côte Chambertin. La Perrière runs adjacent to the grand cru Mazis-Chambertin, separated by a dirt path, with deep limestone soils that give the wine its structural backbone. Fermentation is 100% natural and lasts 18 to 21 days in enameled and stainless steel tanks with twice-daily punch-downs, then the wine is aged in a maximum of 30% new oak barrels for 16 to 18 months and bottled at the domaine with no fining or filtration.
