Domaine Génot-Boulanger began in 1974 when Parisian pharmacists Charles-Henri Génot and his wife Marie Boulanger moved to Burgundy, and began to buy up vineyards. François Delaby inherited the 22-ha (54-acre) domaine in 1998; his daughter Aude and her husband Guillaume Lavollée took over in 2008. Jasper Morris, in Inside Burgundy (2nd edition), writes that, 'Guillaume Lavollée met Aude in 2006; the year after he arrived to do the harvest – only to find that the vineyard manager had quit the day before picking was due to start, and that he would also have to make the wine.

This wine – a blend of three old-vine plots in Pommard planted in the 1930s and 1940s – undergoes spontaneous fermentation with a little bit of whole bunch and then ages in oak barrels, just 20% new, for 12 months. It then spends six months in tank. It's a stunner, like liquid velvet, immensely drinkable now and even better in time.
