Grégory Patriat has wholeheartedly and uncompromisingly subscribed to Jean–Claude Boisset’s vision for wine. Before Jean–Claude Boisset, Gregory worked at Château de Chorey-lès -Beaunes and at Domain Leroy. In 2002, he became Jean-Claude Boisset’s official viticulturalist. This role reconciles the two separate arts of vinification and cultivation, making him a link between the two stages–a kind of “midwife” to the wine. Grégory has the luxury of being able to choose his own grapes. He enjoys a symbiotic relationship with “his” growers; that is to say, the ones who are willing to accept his drastic selection policy and requirements. But Grégory’s own master is the wine itself, whose laws are absolute and tolerate no dissention.
