Domaine Lippe Boileau wines: buy at the best price

Located in Brochon, on the prestigious Route des Grands Crus of the Côte de Nuits, Domaine Lippe Boileau is one of the finest recent revelations from Burgundy. Founded in 2017 by Caroline Lippe, the daughter of a winegrower representing the seventh family generation, and Julien Boileau, a former master cooper, this young estate cultivates three hectares spread across some twenty plots in the appellations Bourgogne Côte d'Or, Fixin, Côte de Nuits Villages and Gevrey-Chambertin. Vinified with finesse, focused on fruit and with a restrained use of oak inherited from Julien's cooperage expertise, the estate's wines captivate with their precision, elegance and faithful expression of the great terroirs of Brochon and the Côte de Nuits.

The History of Domaine Lippe Boileau

The story of Domaine Lippe Boileau began in 2017, when Caroline Lippe and Julien Boileau, a young couple whose skills naturally complement each other, decided to take over part of the family vineyards and establish their own estate. Caroline is the seventh generation of a Burgundian winegrowing family with deep roots in the Côte de Nuits, while Julien brings invaluable firsthand knowledge of oak and wine aging from fourteen years as a master cooper. His grandfather was also a winegrower, making the creation of their own winery a natural next step on their shared path.

To hone their skills, the couple earned a diploma in Beaune in 2017, with a clear ambition: to make wines that reflect who they are, built on vibrant fruit in perfect harmony with the oak of the barrel and the delicacy of the great Pinot Noirs of the Côte de Nuits. The estate settled into a beautiful house dating from 1700 at number 18 on the Route des Grands Crus in Brochon, a quiet village tucked between Fixin and Gevrey-Chambertin. Their first vintage, in 2018, immediately drew critical attention, and the Guide Hachette des Vins soon recognized several of the estate’s cuvées, confirming the arrival of a new talent to watch in Burgundy.

Terroirs and Vineyards of Domaine Lippe Boileau

The vineyards of Domaine Lippe Boileau cover around three hectares, divided into some twenty parcels scattered mainly around Brochon in the Côte de Nuits. This mosaic of climats gives the couple a varied range of soils and exposures to work with, characteristic of Burgundy’s vineyard patchwork. The appellations they cultivate are among the area’s most emblematic: Bourgogne Côte d'Or, Fixin, Côte de Nuits Villages, and Gevrey-Chambertin, the last of which is the estate’s flagship.

Several parcels still bear traces of the past: old dry-stone walls, century-old masonry, and, in some Gevrey-Chambertin climats, vines more than eighty years old. Pinot Noir reigns here, planted in particularly well-drained, stony clay-limestone soils. Harvesting is done entirely by hand, continuing a family tradition that brings relatives and friends of all ages together each year to pick the grapes with respect for the fruit and terroir.

Winemaking at Domaine Lippe Boileau

In the cellar, Domaine Lippe Boileau follows a philosophy of respecting the fruit and using oak with restraint—a natural approach for a former master cooper who knows its subtleties better than most. The wines are made from predominantly destemmed grapes, with some stems occasionally retained to add length and freshness on the palate. The couple favors gentle extraction to preserve Pinot Noir’s delicacy and aromatic vibrancy.

The wines are aged in oak barrels, with a measured proportion of new oak—around 30% for the Gevrey-Chambertin wines and considerably less for the entry- and mid-range cuvées. The goal is clear: oak should support the wine without ever dominating it or masking the expression of the climat. Production is modest, often ranging from a few hundred to a thousand bottles per cuvée, giving each wine a small-scale, hard-to-find character. Some of the grapes are still sold to négociants while the estate grows toward its goal of vinifying its entire harvest itself.

The cuvées of Domaine Lippe Boileau

Bourgogne Côte d'Or (red): sourced primarily from the Moutier sur Brochon climat, this entry-level cuvée offers superb value for money. The nose opens with fresh cherry and wild sloe; the palate is silky, fruity, inviting, and refreshing. An exceptionally appealing regional Bourgogne that perfectly captures the house style.

Bourgogne Pinot Blanc: a rarer, lesser-known cuvée that brings variety to the range. It stands out for its lovely purity, floral and fruity aromas, and a fresh, gently taut palate—a welcome change from the region’s classic Chardonnays.

Côte de Nuits Villages Créole: its name derives from "crais", evoking the small stones found in this Brochon terroir. The wine offers intense notes of black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry, blueberry), shifting between fruit and vanilla. The palate shows concentration, impressive power, and length, in a structured style with aging potential.

Côte de Nuits Villages Vignois (Vieilles Vignes): the estate’s second expression of Côte de Nuits Villages, made from old vines in the Vignois climat. This cuvée shows a denser character, firmer tannins, and a concentrated palate built to age for several years.

Fixin Les Vignes Aux Grands: the estate’s signature wine from neighboring Fixin, displaying the power and noble rusticity characteristic of the appellation. The nose reveals notes of fleshy black fruit and spice, while the palate is structured and energetic, supported by firm tannins and a freshness that lends it elegance.

Gevrey-Chambertin (village): a village-level cuvée from the Le Carré Rougeaud climat, planted with vines around eighty years old. An immediately appealing Gevrey, opening with notes of candied black fruit, cherry, and vanilla. The palate is full and concentrated, supported by supple tannins and lovely freshness, before a pleasantly toasted finish.

Gevrey-Chambertin Les Évocelles: a distinguished single-vineyard cuvée from a climat in the upper part of the slope in Brochon, north of Gevrey. The estate farms 35 ares there, producing a generously styled wine. Spicy, floral, and fruity nuances on the nose lead to a structured palate with aging potential, lifted by freshness and energy. Production is limited to around 600 bottles, depending on the vintage.

Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes: another expression of the estate’s flagship appellation, this cuvée comes from its oldest vines. It is distinguished by remarkable aromatic depth, a dense palate with notes of black fruit, licorice, and pepper, fine, silky tannins, and outstanding aging potential.
