DOMAINE CLOS DE LA CHAPELLE

DOMAINE CLOS DE LA CHAPELLE

It was only a few years ago that Mark M. O’Connell purchased the monopole Clos de la Chapelle in Volnay and renamed the Domaine Louis Boillot creating ‘Domaine Clos de la Chapelle.’ Today, the winery exclusively cultivates Premier and Grand Cru sites on the Côte de Beaune totalling just 4 hectares. The vineyards mostly comprise old vines and are now farmed biodynamically. In their new winery in Bligny-lés-Beaune an adaptable approach is taken, with use of whole bunches, duration of maceration and the proportion of new oak (usually 20% for 1er Cru and 30-40% for Grand Cru) changing to suit the vintage. Intelligent farming and winemaking make this a very exciting domaine on the rise!
