Collection: Renaud Boyer

Although Renaud Boyer, a native of Meursault, originally intended to become an engineer, he was drawn back early on to the remarkable terroirs of the Côte de Beaune, ultimately following in his grandfather’s footsteps.

He took over 3 hectares of vines (many over 80 years old) from his uncle, Thierry Guyot, a pioneer of organic and biodynamic farming in Burgundy since 1986. Quietly and without seeking the spotlight, Renaud began working in some of the most distinguished vineyards of Beaune, Saint-Romain, and Puligny-Montrachet.

From the outset, he chose an uncompromising path guided by precision and rigor. Alongside organic and biodynamic viticulture, he practices a strictly non-interventionist approach in the cellar, working without the addition of sulfur. In his modest cellar in Meursault, he refines simple, thoughtfully adapted tools that allow for exceptionally gentle grape handling.

The white wines are whole-bunch pressed, then fermented and aged in barrel. The reds spend around two weeks on the skins before agng in wooden vats and small barrels crafted by Burgundian master coopers.

Renaud’s rare wines are, without question, profound and finely detailed expressions of the Côte de Beaune: vibrant, unadorned, full of energy and aging potential.
