Domaine Génot-Boulanger Beaune En Lulunne Blanc 2019

The 2019 Beaune “En Lulunne” comes from a small vineyard that lies just up the valley from the Premier Cru site, Montrevenots. The vineyard is 4.30 hectares in total.

Ripe citrus and orchard fruit marry with florality, nuts, and cream on the nose and flow to a brisk palate defined by mineral tension to support the citrus and apple and a rounded mouthfeel to give the wine substantial length.

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.
