Jean-Claude Boisset Côte de Nuits-Villages “Au Clou”

The Jean-Claude Boisset Côte de Nuits-Villages “Au Clou” is an elegant expression of Pinot Noir, showcasing the exceptional character of its single-vineyard origin. This wine delivers remarkable precision and terroir-driven complexity, representing excellent value from the esteemed Côte de Nuits.

Founded in 1961, the house of Jean-Claude Boisset has evolved from a small négociant into a leading Burgundy producer. Under the guidance of winemaker Grégory Patriat, the winery adopts a minimal-interventionist philosophy, focusing on organic principles and precise terroir expression. This “haute-couture” approach has cemented their reputation for crafting wines of exceptional purity and finesse.

In the glass, the wine displays a radiant ruby hue with brilliant clarity. The nose is an inviting bouquet of fresh red cherry, wild raspberry, and subtle notes of forest floor and spice. On the palate, it is beautifully balanced with silky tannins, bright acidity, and a core of pure red fruit that carries through to an elegant, mineral-driven finish.

For the best experience, serve this wine slightly chilled at around 15°C (59°F). It pairs exquisitely with roasted poultry, duck confit, mushroom risotto, or a classic coq au vin.
