From our Importer: 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.

Since the new generation came on board, there is even more attention to the vineyards. They chose to do horse- drawn plowing in the smaller parcels and apply composts and plant-based herbal remedies to promote the soils and the plants’ equilibrium. Pruning, budding and trellising is evaluated vineyard by vineyard to stimulate the maturity and health of the grapes. The domaine is in organic conversion.

Our wine comes from four plots in Volnay, totaling 1.28 hectares of vines. These four plots touch each other and are located at the bottom of the hillside, to the south-east of the village. The plots “les Aussy” and “Cros Martin” were planted in the 1980s and “les Echards” and “les Jouères” in the 1950s. They are located just below our Premier Cru Volnay “Les Roncerets”. The land benefits from a slight slope, on limestone bedrock covered by water-retaining clays. The soil is made up of silt superimposed on ancient alluvium.
