Domaine Clos de la Chapelle is a new name of a very old domaine, situated in the heart of the Burgundian village of Volnay. Originally founded by Victor Boillot in 1865 with his purchase of Volnay 1er Cru Clos de la Chapelle (monopole), the domaine added Volnay 1er Cru En Carelle and Pommard 1er Cru Les Chanlins très vieilles vignes over the course of the next half century. The reputation of the Clos de la Chapelle monopole dates back to the 19 th century, with Louis Pasteur himself writing regularly to Victor Boillot requesting bottles of this exceptional wine.
After nearly 150 years in the Boillot family, the domaine was purchased by Mark M. O’Connell, a life-long Burgundy lover. With the recent acquisition of 8 additional vineyards in the Côte de Beaune, the Domaine now comprises about 4 hectares of both red and white Burgundy, all designated 1er or Grand Cru. The Domaine is certified organic and practices biodynamic farming. Total production for all vineyards combined is about 1200 cases in an average year.
