Tasting Notes
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.

Scores
93 / 100"The 2019 Meursault Les Bouchères 1er Cru comes from the middle of the slope, which tends to produce higher levels of natural acidity. It has an attractive licorice-tinged bouquet that blossoms in the glass with fine definition. The concentrated palate offers layers of lightly honeyed fruit counterpoised by the acidity. A touch of grilled walnut surfaces toward the finish, which feels very long. Excellent."
