Jean-Claude Boisset Wines

Sort By:

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. — R.V. (9/1/2004)

Jean-Claude Boisset 2005 Pinot Noir (Echézeaux)

Cellar Selection
Online Exclusive

Price $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. — R.V. (3/1/2008)

Jean-Claude Boisset 2005 Pinot Noir (Chambertin)

Online Exclusive

Price $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. — R.V. (3/1/2008)

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

Price $80

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. — R.V. (9/1/2004)

Jean-Claude Boisset 2006 Les Bressandes Premier Cru Pinot Noir (Beaune)

Cellar Selection

Price $42

Solid, firm wine that brings its tannins to bear on the rich plum juice and black berry fruits. The tannins act as an important element here, giving concentration, tightening the fresh fruit, and underpinning the final bright acidity. Age for 4–5 years. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

Jean-Claude Boisset 2003 Pinot Noir (Clos Vougeot)

Price $150

Cedary and meaty at first, with lush fruit aromas of black cherries and plum gradually taking over. Rich and creamy in the mouth, adding nuances of meat and vanilla on the long, textured finish. — J.C. (12/31/2005)

Jean-Claude Boisset 2006 Genevrières Premier Cru Chardonnay (Meursault)

Online Exclusive

Price $69

Very rich, but the wine also has a good steely edge to it, a texture of fruit skins to go with the ripest apricot flavors. It rolls satisfyingly around the mouth, a concentrated burst of fruit that, as with the steeliness, ends with crisp acidity. Imported by Boisset America. — R.V. (10/1/2009)

Jean-Claude Boisset 2002 Clos de Verger Premier cru Pinot Noir (Pommard)

A concentrated, structured wine that marries dusty tannins and rich, ripe fruit. The fruit is certainly intense at this stage, but watch it develop over 10–15 years. — R.V. (9/1/2004)
