Yves Boyer-Martenot

Yves Boyer-Martenot is a Meursault domaine with a strong white wine portfolio spanning village Meursault, premier cru Meursault Charmes, and Puligny-Montrachet premier cru Le Cailleret. Less publicised than Coche-Dury or Leflaive, the estate nonetheless commands substantive auction prices reflecting consistent quality and growing recognition among Côte de Beaune specialists. Puligny-Montrachet Le Cailleret at $160 average from 54 lots is the flagship, with 2015 dominant in trading. Meursault premier cru Charmes averages $130 from 19 lots, with 2005 as the strongest vintage. Village Meursault blanc runs $89–$121 across multiple cuvées. The Bourgogne Aligoté averages an anomalous $177 from 8 lots — likely reflecting unusual production batches or vintage selection. A village Pommard averages $277 from 6 lots, suggesting a serious red wine program alongside the whites. The portfolio's price ceiling of $1,476 reflects aged bottles of Meursault blanc or Puligny Cailleret in exceptional condition. The 2000 blanc averaging $288 confirms these wines develop well with age. The domain bridges the accessible village-tier entry point with genuine premier cru ambition and consistent execution. With 273 lots across multiple appellations, Boyer-Martenot offers one of the more comprehensive Côte de Beaune white wine programs available at auction outside the very top-tier domaines, and at prices that reward specialist collectors.
