Domaine Génot-Boulanger
ドメーヌ・ジェノ＝ブーランジェ
Burgundy's most diverse organic estate: 30+ appellations across all three côtes, AB certified since 2018
Founded in 1974 when pharmacists Charles-Henri Génot and his wife Marie née Boulanger left Paris to pursue their viticultural dream in Meursault, the domaine has grown under their grandson-in-law Guillaume Delaby and wife Aude (daughter of François Delaby, who inherited in 1998) to 22 hectares spanning 30+ appellations across all three Burgundy côtes. Since 2008, Guillaume and Aude have converted to organic farming (AB certified since 2018) and experimented with biodynamics. The philosophy is 'maximum work in the vineyards for minimum intervention in the cuverie'—whole cluster pressing for whites, native yeast fermentation in barrel (20–30% new oak), no lees stirring, 18 months élevage. With 80% white wine production plus reds from Volnay, Pommard, and Beaune, Génot-Boulanger offers Burgundy's most diverse certified organic portfolio.
