Chambolle-Musigny is one of the smallest and most parcellated appellations of the Côte de Nuits whose Grand Crus are among Burgundy's rarest and most collectable wines. Boisset's Village Chambolle comes from massale selected vines from 5 'lieux dits' located around the village, including Creux Baissants, Pas de Chat, Derrière le Four and the famed Clos de l'Orme, which many growers believe to be as good as their Premier Cru sites. Boisset's Chambolle vines have been farmed organically since 2008.

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. In 2018, they opened a new state-of-the-art winery, which reflects their modern, technical approach to winemaking. The wines have been made by Grégory Patriat since 2002. He previously worked as head viticulturalist and assistant winemaker at the legendary Domaine Leroy, and has brought a detailed, vineyard-led approach to Jean-Claude Boisset
