Domaine Génot-Boulanger Description
The history of the estate begins with the realization of a dream, back in 1974, when Charles-Henri Génot and his wife, Marie née Boulanger moved to Meursault. They acquired their first vineyards in Mercurey and created the Domaine. Charles-Henri never tired in his search for additional terroir, obtaining parcels in Meursault, Chassagne-Montrachet, Volley, Pommard and Beaune. Their son, Francois, inherited a total of 22 hectares of vineyards across 30 appellations in 1998 and continued the family endeavor for ten years until his daughter, Aude, and son-in-law, Guillaume Lavollée joined him.
Since 2008, Guillaume and Aude have worked painstakingly to improve the quality of their wines, converting to organic farming practices and experimenting with biodynamics.
During the Gallo-Roman era, there was a spring on this land with a small village built around it - called Lulunne that still exists today. The plot is located at the bottom of the valley and separates the Pommard mountain from that of Saint-Désiré, Finage de Beaune. This wine comes from a 0.24 hectare Chardonnay parcel planted in 1986 located at the top of the hill and faces south, just above Clos des Mouches planted on clay-limestone and loamy soil.
