The origins of the company "Boisset, La Famille des Grands Vins" lie in the founding of a vineyard in 1961 in the Nuits-Saint-Georges area (Burgundy) by Jean-Claude Boisset (*1943) and his wife Claudine. The first Boisset wines came from neighbours and acquaintances. The head office was originally located in Vougeot, from where the wines were exported to England. Later, the head office was moved to Nuits-Saint-Georges in the former Les Ursulines convent. In 1964, Les Evocelles in Gevrey-Chambertin was acquired as the first vineyard. The main vineyard covers 40 hectares with many Grands Crus and Premiers Crus sites. The product portfolio was expanded to include sparkling wines and spirits. Finally, branches were also established in the USA and Canada.

For me, Lexicon from wein.plus is the most comprehensive and best source of information about wine currently available.
