Domaine Genot-Boulanger Savigny-les-Beaune Blanc Vieilles Vignes 2022
(Burgundy, France)

About the Domaine:
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.

About this Wine:
The wine comes from three plots in Savigny, one on the lower hills (Les Saucours), the other on the middle of the hillside (Les Gollardes) and the last at the top of the hillside (Les Goudelettes). The three plots total 0.56 Hectares

Ratings & Reviews

Vinous Media:
“The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Blanc Vieilles Vignes has a strict and backward bouquet at first, gradually opening with a very subtle fumé note. The palate is well-balanced with a rounded entry, a little creamier in style with almond, vanilla and light oaty/cereal notes on the finish. Drink over the next 4-6 years.” – Neal Martin (Jan 2024)
