Genot-Boulanger is run by Aude and Guillaume Lavollée. He broke a 20 generation run as pharmacists by purchasing some vines in Mercurey, and then Meursault; her long-established Burgundian family (the Genots and the Boulangers) gave the estate its name. They’ve spent the last decade reinvigorating the estate’s soils, converting the farming to organic (with some biodynamic influence) and encouraging healthy biodiversity of plants, animals and microbes.At Genot-Boulanger, the focus is on freshness and terroir expression. Fruit is harvested before it comes overly ripe, to preserve acidity, and each site is worked painstakingly (often with a horse-drawn plough). In the cellar, new oak is limited to a maximum of 15%.
