Domaine Jean-Baptiste Boudier is an ambitious wine grower of Pernand-Vergelesses. The estate owns 6 hectares of vineyards that are treated according to sustainable principles. Currently, the domaine is managed by Jean-Baptiste Boudier.

The top wine of the domaine is Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru Sous Frétille. The Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru Sous Frétille 2015 scored 89 by the Wine Advocate.

Robert Parker commented on the Pernand-Vergelesses Premier Cru Sous Frétille 2015: “The 2015 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru Sous Frétille is a step up from the Pernand villages, revealing more incipient complexity in its bouquet of crisp yellow orchard fruit, blanched almond and flowers. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied and succulent, finishing with chalky grip. The 2015 vintage here translates into a rather more facile, open-knit wine than I suspect we will see in future vintages from Boudier, and his success in this sun-kissed year marks this out as a new domaine to watch.”

The wines of the domaine are generous, charming, odorous and rich.

The domaine was founded by Jean-Baptiste Boudier in 2015.

Before 2015, Jean-Baptiste Boudier was assisting his father during the vinification process. In 2014, the father and the son mutually decided to continue apart because of different winemaking views. In 2018, the father retired, and Jean-Baptiste Boudier received 3 hectares of family vineyards. In addition, several vineyards, including Corton Renardes Grand Cru were bought by Jean-Baptiste Boudier in 2021.

Domaine Jean-Baptiste Boudier treats the vines in accordance with sustainable principles.

At the winery, destemming is carried out only for the red grapes. The white grapes are pressed, and the must is decanted. Fermentation is conveyed in stainless steel with the help of indigenous yeasts; a tiny amount of sulfur is added. Punching down is applied only for the reds and only once per day. The maceration is carried out after the fermentation and takes from 4 to 5 days. Ageing is conveyed in oak barrels. Before the bottling, the wines are lightly filtered if needed.
