The Boidron family began making wine in 1760
From generation to generation, the vineyard has expanded and today comprises 70 hectares over 6 appellations.
Yesterday a pioneer in the techniques of wine making, today in the protection of the environment, the Boidron family is in perpetual search of the quintessence of the know-how. It has always shown innovation and creative audacity in the service of excellence.

Known throughout the world, its wines find their harmonious balance in the humility of the expression of the terroir beyond successive fashions, like some great contemporary creations. Naud.jpg

At the beginning of the 20th century, Suzanne Boidron was already the sixth generation of winegrowers. Her son Jean-Noël continues the cultivation that was entrusted to him in the purest respect of tradition and the environment.

The wines are racy because they are chiselled by the family's three oenologists, who make them excellent thoroughbreds. The complexity of their bouquet and the smoothness of their tannins are their first inimitable qualities.

The Boidron vineyards have remained a family business co-managed by Jean-Noël Boidron and his children Isabelle (administration), Emmanuel (sales) and Hubert (production).

In a Boidron family vineyard there is a philosophy which expresses, as in the arts, an aesthetic choice defined by this motto: "Excellence, Harmony, Humility".
