Producer Information

Château Génot-Boulanger and the winegrowing-monks of CiteauxThe history of this domain sinks its roots back to the most ancient sources, to the Cistercian monks of Citeaux who, during the 12th century, were responsible for reviving the Burgundy winegrowing area, including of course Clos de Vougeot, now the emblematic, but not unique vestige of this period. We find ourselves in Meursault, in a castle, a real castle constructed during the 19th century in place of the outbuildings of Château de Citeaux. The Génot family prospered in pharmaceuticals. Pharmacists were in fact the very first oenologists, since they alone were able to analyse foodstuffs and wine. Since 1974, this family business has been run by François Delaby, for whom vine growing is a form of art. Before taking over the management of this domain, he excelled as an interior designer, dealing with painting and design. It is in fact a family tradition: design, writing and art all working for the cause of wine. François Delaby is assisted by a team which includes a vineyard manager who supervises the domain’s 27.54 hectares and a consultant oenologist who masters Burgundy’s typical diversity. His daughter Aude and future son-in-law are members of the management team.
Like the majority of domains in Burgundy, the appellations of the same estate are scattered here and there in the area: over a distance of 60 km, 92 plots of vines (“climats”) are all part of the same domain. They are spread from Chambolle Musigny in the Côte de Nuits, to Mercurey in the Côte Chalonnaise. There are eighteen appellations for white wines, including a Great Growth and seven First Growths, and fourteen appellations for red wines, including two Great Growths and seven First Growths. Their names sing the praises of Burgundy: Chambolle Musigny, Clos de Vougeot, Cortons Charlemagne, Beaune Grèves, Pommard Clos blanc, Meursault les Bouchères, Puligny Montrachet Les Folatières or Chassagne Montrachet Clos Saint Jean and two First Growths in Mercurey. In addition, the domain also makes a Crémant de Bourgogne, with two thirds of Pinot and one third of Chardonnay. This extension to the range enables the firm to propose Burgundy wines to serve throughout an entire meal. Crémant offers excellent value for money.
