Boisset Collection, the renowned family-owned wine company led by its visionary proprietor, Jean-Charles Boisset, has appointed Jackson Family Wines as its wine distribution broker in the United States, effective August 1st, for its prestigious California, Burgundy, and French Sparkling portfolio including Raymond Vineyards, Buena Vista Winery, JCB by Jean-Charles Boisset, LVE by John Legend, Jean-Claude Boisset, Bouchard Aîné et Fils, Louis Bernard and Charles de Fere. This collaboration marks a transformative milestone in bringing Boisset's extraordinary wines to broader U.S. distribution driven by the Jackson family's well-regarded sales and distribution teams. Additionally, Regal Wine Company has been selected as the distributor for those wineries across California.
This strategic partnership represents the convergence of two family-owned wine companies united by a shared passion for terroir expression, sustainable viticulture, and artisanal winemaking excellence. For Jean-Charles Boisset, this marks a pivotal moment in expanding the reach of his family's dynamic Burgundian legacy while strengthening the bridge between his French heritage and California innovation with a national sales partner rooted in story-telling, education and a celebrated fine wine ethos.
"Uniting the collective energy of the Jackson Family's inspired sales prowess with our family's wineries and passionate team will create an unparalleled new force in the US wine world," said Jean-Charles Boisset. "The Jackson family are one of the great wine families whom we have long admired. They have built a culture of fine wine, commitment to the land, and an enduring family legacy. Aligning our portfolio with theirs is a testament to the power of family tradition and values in wine at a crucial moment in the history of wine in America. Together, we are united in the vision of empowering the wine culture in America and beyond."
Boisset Collection embodies the extraordinary journey of Jean-Charles Boisset, a second-generation Burgundian winemaker born into an entrepreneurial family winery in Vougeot. The Boisset Collection spans more than thirty historical wineries across the world's most celebrated terroirs from Burgundy, Beaujolais, the Rhône Valley, Provence and South of France. In Burgundy, the portfolio includes prestigious historic houses such as Bouchard Aîné & Fils (founded in 1731), one of Burgundy's oldest wine houses, as well as modern pioneers Jean-Claude Boisset, established in 1961, and the family's Domaine de la Vougeraie, founded in 1999, among others.
In California, Jean-Charles has assembled an equally impressive portfolio including the historic Buena Vista Winery, America's first premium winery, founded in 1857, Raymond Vineyards, and his ultra-premium JCB Collection, which represents his belief that great wine transcends borders while honoring each terroir's distinctive character. Jean-Charles's winemaking approach blends deep tradition with bold innovation, rooted in his philosophy that wine is a living expression of the land, vintage, and human spirit. His commitment to biodynamic and sustainable practices reflects reverence for the earth passed down through generations, while his artistic vision continues to push boundaries in both France and California. Boisset was named Wine Enthusiast's 2024 Person of the Year.
"Jean-Charles and our family have shared a friendship spanning decades, built on our mutual dedication to terroir expression and multi-generational stewardship. We both understand that great wine requires deep vineyard knowledge, respect for the land, and a vision that extends far beyond any single vintage," said Christopher Jackson, 2nd Generation Proprietor at Jackson Family Wines. "We are excited to work together and combine our sales expertise to expand Boisset's business in the U.S."
Jackson Family Wines brings to this partnership a renowned dedication to crafting wines of exceptional quality and character. This family-owned and led wine company spans 40 wineries globally, including regions in California, Oregon, Washington, Canada, France, Italy, Australia, Chile, South Africa, and the UK. With a strong presence in the U.S. market, Jackson Family Wines excels in distributor management with decades-long trade relationships. Committed to sustainability, the company leads efforts in carbon reduction, renewable energy, and regenerative farming practices.
The United States represents a key growth market for the Boisset Collection, and this partnership will allow the portfolio to benefit from Jackson Family Wines' established distribution network and expertise in the premium wine segment.
