Grapes: 100% Chardonnay

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)!

From a plot located in the immediate vicinity of the famous Montrachet. "Chenevottes" in old French means 'hemp'—fields where hemp was cultivated. Their 0.25-hectare Chardonnay plot, planted in 1930, is situated mid-slope, to the north of Chassagne, with an east-facing exposure. The vines are on relatively flat, well-drained land with a limestone and stony soil that is particularly suited to producing fleshy and mineral white wines.
