Lucien Boillot has been producing wines in Volnay since 1980, inheriting a family estate that had been cultivating Pinot Noir for several generations. Boillot now manages 5 hectares across Volnay, including premier cru sites Les Caillerets, Clos des Angles, and Les Brouillards, as well as village parcels. The estate is focused on low intervention viticulture with meticulous canopy management, hand harvesting, and minimal mechanical work. Soils are a mix of clay and limestone with varying slope exposure, giving each parcel distinct character. Boillot relies exclusively on indigenous yeast fermentations, and wines are aged in a combination of older and neutral French oak barrels for 12 to 16 months depending on cru, with minimal sulphur, no fining, and no filtration. The philosophy is to highlight the differences of each cru while preserving the elegance, aromatic lift, and minerality characteristic of Volnay.
Volnay 1er Cru Les Brouillards 2022 comes from upper slope clay-limestone parcels of Les Brouillards, known for lighter, aromatic wines with lifted red fruit and floral notes. The 2022 vintage gave bright acidity, soft tannins, and delicacy. Grapes were hand-harvested, fermented with indigenous yeasts, and aged 12 to 14 months in older French oak barrels to preserve finesse and elegance.
