Bourgogne Rouge

A single plot in the plain of Pommard from a lieu-dit called Les Noeuds. The vines are 60 years old and very low yielding never giving more than 20 hectolitres/hectare. The soil is red to brown clay mixed with small pieces of limestone. The limestone helps to keep the soil from being too wet which is a common issue on the plains. No production in 2016 or 2017 due to frost, but about 10 barrels total each vintage since 2018.

Pommard Vieilles Vignes

The Pommard Vieilles Vignes comes from three parcels in Pommard: Les Cras, Les Vignots, and La Chanière. Les Cras is at the bottom of the slope.

Les Vignots and La Chanière are located on the slope just above the village of Pommard in more clay based calcareous soils. In total, the three parcels are 2.22 hectares.

Pommard 1er Cru Clos Blanc

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. Genot-Boulanger's parcel was planted in 1966 and is 0.33 hectare.

Chambolle Musigny

Beaune 1er Cru Les Greves

Volnay 1er Cru Ronceret

The plot is located at the bottom of the valley and separates the Pommard mountain from that of Saint-Désiré, Finage de Beaune.

Their 0.50 hectare parcel was planted in 1970 and due to its north-eastern exposure retains a lot of freshness. The soils are shallow and very stony so they drain well. Also, thanks to the Combe of Auxey-Duresses that is contiguous to the plot, there is a cooling effect that helps maintain more consistently cool temperatures.

Meursault 1er Cru Boucheres

The word "bouchot" in old Burgundian dialect means "bush" or "small wooded area.” At the time, how wooded the area was characterized the area. Meursault 1er Cru Boucheres is in one of the most barren areas of Meursault. There is so little top soil and so rocky that only a few bushes grow there, hence its name.

Puligny Montrachet 1er Cru La Garenne

The parcel has a perfect geological cross section: the Oxfordian Jurassic layers of bedrock are younger than in the rest of the Côte.
