Jean-Claude Boisset 2002 Bressandes Premier cru Pinot Noir (Beaune)
A very rich, concentrated wine that combines black fruits, dark tannins and sweetness. Hints of wood only give structure. The potential is there—give this 10 years at least.

Jean-Claude Boisset 2005 Pinot Noir (Chambertin)
- Online Exclusive
- $169
A round, full-bodied wine that goes for the generous, opulent fruity aspect of red Burgundy with its big, blowsy red fruits, just kept in check by tannins. The acidity is lively and fresh, keeping pace with the intense vibrant fruits. Screwcap.

Jean-Claude Boisset 2005 Pinot Noir (Echézeaux)
- Cellar Selection
- Online Exclusive
- $115
An impressive wine, fueled by black plum juice flavors. The acidity is just right, balancing the richness of the fruit. The wine revels in the serious side of Echezeaux, packed with dark, tight tannins over the fruit. It needs at least five years, maybe 10.

Jean-Claude Boisset 2009 Pinot Noir (Echézeaux)
- Cellar Selection
- $179
In this vintage, Echézeaux reveals an extra edge of really ripe, full fruits. They are balanced by the firm wood- and spice-laden structure, with the tannins and intense acids adding the final touches. Age this over 7–8 years.

Still showing its youthful fruity character, this concentrated wine is going to develop richness while always retaining its elegance. The acidity and structured fruit lend a strong sense of minerality, although it keeps its ripeness. Age for 3–4 years.

Jean-Claude Boisset 2002 Les Charmes Premier cru Pinot Noir (Chambolle-Musigny)

Minerality and structure combine with Chambolle opulence in this finely balanced wine. Its fruit is certainly firm, but it still manages to exude immense charm and attraction.

Jean-Claude Boisset 2009 Les Charmes Premier cru Pinot Noir (Chambolle-Musigny)
- Cellar Selection
- $110
This is rich, complex and full of ripe fruit. A firm structure underlies the richness, lending concentration and density. The fruit is still reticent and will show more generously in another year. Age for five years.

Jean-Claude Boisset 2009 Lavaut Saint-Jacques Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Gevrey-Chambertin)
- $75
While it has all the structure of Gevrey-Chambertin, it also has the richness of the vintage. This strikes a healthy balance between the two, creating a powerful wine that’s full of black fruits and sweet tannins, with a firm, dry core. Age for 5–6 years.
