Created by Pierre Guyot in 1869, Domaine Lamé Delisle Boucard was passed to his son-in-law Jules Lamé, who took advantage of the phylloxera crisis to plant grafted vines early in the region. Over time, he expanded the vineyards. After World War II, Jules' son Lucien and his wife Yvonne bottled their 1947 vintage under their own label instead of selling to négociants.
The domaine produces both brasserie-style wine – the Cuvée Déchainée – and its more prestigious Cuvée Prestige, made from the oldest vines on mid-slope parcels. These wines are vinified in large vats and aged in old oak foudres, with the best vintages ageing gracefully for decades.
Philippe Boucard now runs the estate with his family. A lover of politics and sports, Philippe enjoys sharing old bottles in the domaine’s tuffeau cellars. Under his leadership, the estate converted its 46 hectares to organic viticulture, receiving certification with the 2021 vintage.
