CHATEAU GÉNOT-BOULANGERChâteau Génot Boulanger, is a family winery and wine grower situated in Meursault, in the heart of the Côte de Beaune (Burgundy)
François Delaby, owner and director of the winery, along with his daughter and son-in-law, Aude and Guillaume Lavollée, share the love of wine, and of Burgundy, le Château Génot-Boulanger joins in the tradition of great family wineries.
They produce wines issued from some of the most beautiful terroirs in Burgundy. They try to respect this heritage and they do so by permitting the local grape varietals, Pinot noir for their red wines and Chardonnay for their white wines, to express all of their aromatic complexity and to reach the capacity to age well.
From Mercurey to Puligny-Montrachet, as well as from Meursault to the hill of Corton, their white wines are very especial for their vivacity and their minerality. The red wines from Volnay to Chambolle Musigny are elegant and complex and in Pommard and Clos de Vougeot the wines are more powerful and rich.
They work with 32 appellations and own 27.54 hectares. Their 92 parcels extend from Chambolle-Musigny in the north, to Mercurey in the south, which covers a total distance of 60 km.
The winery is equipped with modern means in the service of traditional vinification, they produce wines with excellent aging capacity by encouraging the full expression of the terroir to come through in all of their wines.
Recognized and honoured numerous times by the press and specialized publications, their wines are present in various prestigious restaurants and caves throughout the world.
