2023 Domaine Genot-Boulanger Savigny-les-Beaune Blanc "Vieilles Vignes", Burgundy, France
ABOUT THIS WINE
Sourced from old Chardonnay vines averaging over 50 years of age, this cuvĂ©e captures the deeper, more concentrated expression of Savigny-lĂšs-Beauneâs white terroir. The 2023 growing season delivered ideal conditionsâcool nights and moderate heatâresulting in fruit with excellent balance and aromatic clarity. Fermented with indigenous yeasts and aged in mostly used oak barrels, the wine shows restrained richness, layered orchard fruit, and a core of mineral tension. Farming is certified organic, with close attention to vine health and soil vitality. Though less common than its red counterparts, this white Savigny is a compelling food wineâpair it with roast poultry, mushroom risotto, or soft-rind cheeses like Chaource.
ABOUT THIS PRODUCER
Based in Meursault, Domaine GĂ©not-Boulanger has undergone a quiet transformation under the stewardship of Aude and Guillaume LavollĂ©e, the fourth generation at the helm. Since taking over in 2008, theyâve led the estate into certified organic farming and embraced a more refined, terroir-transparent style of winemaking. The domaine spans prestigious appellations across the CĂŽte d'Or, but even their lesser-known crus are treated with the same respect and detail as their grands vins. Their philosophy centers on thoughtful viticulture, minimal intervention, and crafting wines that reflect place and precision. The âVieilles Vignesâ Savigny Blanc is a perfect expression of their commitment to elevating overlooked terroirs through careful farming and sensitive winemaking.
