2022 Domaine Genot Boulanger Chambolle-Musigny

Domaine Genot Boulanger is rooted in Meursault, but its 22 hectares reach north into the Cote de Nuits, and this 2022 Chambolle Musigny comes from two village parcels, "Les Nazoires" and "Les Mombies," 0.76 hectare on the Vougeot side of the village. The vines sit low on the slope, on limestone covered with pebbles, gravel and scree washed down from the Chambolle combe. Founded in 1974, the estate passed in 1998 to Francois Delaby, grandson of the founders. His daughter Aude and her husband Guillaume Lavollee joined in 2008 and converted it to organic farming, certified across all cuvees since 2018. The Pinot Noir is completely destemmed and macerated two to three weeks with native yeasts by infusion, the cap held under the juice rather than punched down or pumped over, then aged 12 months in barrel with little new oak and six months in tank before an unfiltered bottling, a method that favors Chambolle's perfume and fine grain over weight.
