Domaine Genot-Boulanger Chambolle-Musigny 2017

Winemaker's Tasting Notes: Upon first smelling this wine, you sense a medley of aromas: a mix of red fruits with notes of strawberry, redcurrant, and cranberry. Noble and airy, the nose immediately evokes the singular class of this appellation. The palate continues to display grace and finesse. The wine is fresh, full-bodied, with almost imperceptible tannins. The fruit aromas return on the finish, and one is left with its complexity and elegant movement; this wine is a delightful dancer. 

About the Winery: 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.

Varietal: Pinot Noir.
