CASE OF 6 BOTTLES OFJean-Claude Boisset, Mâcon-Igé `Château London`
 
Jean-Claude Boisset is a family-owned wine company founded in 1961. Jean-Claude’s first parcel of land was located in Gevrey-Chambertin and today the company is based in Les Ursulines, a former convent in Nuits-Saint-Georges, and run by his children Jean-Charles and Nathalie. Grégory Patriat, who had previously worked at the legendary Vosne-Romanée producer Domaine Leroy, joined in 2002 to revitalise and reinvent the house. He transformed Boisset into a ‘viniculteur’, working closely with the growers, guiding the wines from vine to bottle to achieve the desired quality. In 2018, they opened a new state-of-the-art winery, which reflects their modern, technical approach to winemaking.
 
The lieu-dit "Sous la Roche" is located below a border of rocks overlooking the coast at this point. The 35 years old vines are grown on chalky soils with some limestone strips. 
After being handpicked, the whole bunches of grapes were gently pressed for 2½ hours.
 
The temperature of the must was brought down to 12°C then was immediately transferred to barrels (demi-muids) with no settling to preserve a maximum of lees. Long fermentation using indigenous yeasts for added complexity and freshness. The wine is then aged on demi-muits barrels, for 11 months with no racking or stirring to bring out all of it's minerality. A proportion of 27% new French oak barrels.
Pale yellow in colour with golden highlights, this wine reveals ripe lemon aromas underlined with bright pineapple notes characteristic from the vintage. The palate is fresh, balanced by a smooth texture. The finish is long supported by a delicate salinity.
