Domaine Genot-Boulanger Description
Guillaume and Aude Lavollée represent the fourth generation of vignerons at Génot-Boulanger. Their wines are produced exclusively from estate-owned vineyards, located along all three Burgundy côtes, from Chambolle Musigny, down to the domaine in Meursault, and on to Mercurey. With 22 hectares, Génot-Boulanger is one of only a few family-owned Burgundian domaines to produce such a diverse range. (They produce wine from over 30 appellations!). Since 2008, Guillaume and Aude have worked painstakingly to improve the quality of their wines, converting to organic farming practices and experimenting with biodynamics. The domaine’s philosophy is “maximum work in the vineyards for minimum intervention in the cuverie.” This has translated to wines that are first and foremost true to their terroir.
Vinous: 92 Points
The 2023 Puligny-Montrachet Les Levrons takes time to open but eventually reveals an attractive, finely delineated citrus-fresh nose with touches of fish scales/crustaceans. The palate is medium-bodied, fresh and precise with fine tannins and a keen thread of acidity. It's lightly spiced with decent length on the finish. This is a delightful Puligny that nudges Premier Cru in quality.
