Jean-Claude Boisset founded his negociant enterprise in 1961 when he was an ambitious 18-year-old. Boisset set up his business in Nuits-Saint-Georges in a former Ursulines convent and for four decades built his business with international sales. In 2002 his son Jean-Charles took over and expanded the negociant business into a hybrid venture that also vinifies wine from many Burgundy appellations. Gregory Patriat is Boisset’s viniculturalist, sourcing grapes from carefully selected growers. The estate makes Premier Cru and village wines.
