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.
Mercurey is one of the most important appellations in the Côte Chalonnaise. Genot-Boulanger's parcel of Mercurey 1er Cru Sazenay was planted in 2000 and 2015. The plot is 1.81 hectare and is well situated on the slope with a full eastern exposure.
Vinous: 88-90 Points
The 2022 Mercurey Sazenay ler Cru has a little more cohesion and fruit intensity than the Les Saumont because of the south-facing orientation and older vines. The palate is medium- bodied with supple tannins, quite plush red cherry and strawberry fruit, and a light spiciness towards the finish. Fine.
