2022 Domaine Genot Boulanger "Clos de Cromin" Meursault

Clos du Cromin is the parcel Domaine Genot Boulanger calls emblematic: the family's first holding in Meursault and for many years its only one, planted to Pinot Noir before it was turned over to Chardonnay. The 1.42 hectare site lies north of the village on the slope bordering Volnay, facing south and southeast on deep, fairly clay rich soil that turns stonier in its lower section. Founded in 1974 by Charles Henri Genot and Marie Boulanger, the domaine is now led by the fourth generation, Aude and Guillaume Lavollee, who began organic farming in 2008 and reached full certification with the 2018 vintage. This 2022 was pressed as whole clusters, fermented in barrel with no sulfur added, aged 12 months in oak (10 to 15 percent new) and six months in tank, and bottled unfiltered. The house aims for whites that are open young and gain complexity over four to five years.
