Nuits Saint Georges 1st Cru "Les Perrières" 2012 - Jean-Claude Boisset
Son of schoolteachers, Jean-Claude Boisset created his little Maison de Vin at a very young age near Gevrey-Chambertin. He tightens three trumps in his hand: optimism, tenacity and luck. Odlers that quickly jostle his first sales to the international; England, first, then little by little, Europe, and later America. Our mother has always been discreetly present at her side. Links with customers are built around friendship, around wine. Today, present at the important moments of our lives, they remain faithful to this connivance of a young man whose strength of conviction is acquired, for life! We all live this adventure with enthusiasm, and now again the family spirit prevails. The ethics of the Maison Jean-Claude Boisset is in three words: origin, purity, elegance. Origin is the reflection of the terroir in its original expression. It is also the Origin of the appellations linked to the history of Jean-Claude Boisset. Purity, that of the true lines and wines, fruits of the earth. Purity of taste, raw, without oenological addition. Elegance, that of a style of today, anchored in the movement, in the air of time. The distinction. Burgundy, resolutely! Thus bathed in the light of renewal, was born the Collection. Each appellation results from a severe selection and has been produced in limited quantities. In Burgundy, there is this culture, that of the small and the sewn-hand, it is only to look at the vineyard. You will see it at the tasting, the emphasis is on the search for authentic wines, where the hand of man was made as discreet as possible; the wines are concentrated, round, and of course, express their terroir. Man fades, the earth speaks.
