Presentation
Located in Monthelie, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, Domaine Laurent Boussey perpetuates a viticultural know-how passed down for five generations. Laurent and Karen Boussey now manage this family estate, which spans 15 hectares and produces 24 appellations. The estate is renowned for its red and white wines, notably in Meursault, Pommard, and Beaune. Reasoned agriculture is a given: the soils are plowed, treatments are limited, and harvesting is done manually to keep only the best grapes. Vinification respects Burgundian traditions with long fermentations and aging in oak barrels, bringing depth and finesse to the wines. Each cuvée is meticulously assembled to express the full potential of its terroir. The originality of the estate lies in its exceptional heritage of old vines, with some parcels over 60 years old. This longevity gives the wines remarkable concentration and complexity, ensuring great aging potential.

White vinification begins with a gentle pressing of Chardonnay grapes, followed by settling and a low-temperature fermentation over several days to preserve the fruit and voluptuous character of Burgundy’s great whites. The wines are then aged in oak barrels for 12 months, with 10 to 50% new oak, before being bottled at the estate.
