Pommard 1er Cru "Clos Blanc" is located along the Route des Grands Crus road just next to the entrance to the village of Pommard and is contiguous to Les Grands Epenots. It is named “Clos Blanc” because of the large concentration of limestone and clay, so much so that the soil appears white. Following the phylloxera crisis, this parcel was the first of the village to be replanted. Their parcel was planted in 1966 and is 0.33 hectare.
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.
