Passed down from father to son for five generations, Domaine Boussey is a family-run estate located in Monthélie (near Meursault, Pommard and Beaune), a region that is world-renown for its Burgundian wines.
Since 2003, Laurent Boussey and his wife, Karen, run the 14-hectare estate. Both trained winemakers, they work the vines following family traditions: with respect for the environment, pruning and harvesting by hand.
They produce excellent red and white wines from 24 different appellations.
The vinification in red begins with a cold maceration (in order to obtain an intense Ruby colour) and continues with regular trapping at the beginning of fermentation. This will ensure a width and an aromatic range of typical red fruits of Pinot Noir. The macerations last from 12 to 18 days, depending on the appellation.
The vinification in white begins with a soft pressing of grapes from Chardonnay, followed by low-temperature fermentation during several days in order to obtain the fruity and sensual delight of the Grands Blancs of Burgundy. These wines will be held in oak barrels during 12 months, with proportions of new barrels varying from 10 to 50%.
