Genot Boulanger Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2015
Vintage Character
The hot, sunny spring of 2015 advanced growth across Burgundy, while low rainfall made the timing of later showers particularly valuable. September then brought orderly harvest conditions. The regional wine board remembers reds that combined flesh with fine, silky tannin. In Génot-Boulanger's Clos de Vougeot, this warmth met a Pinot Noir parcel with shallow brown soil over Jurassic limestone and clay. Its rows cross three soil variations, from more clay downslope to more stones above. That variation matters in a ripe year, because the parcel is not a uniform block, and its grand cru depth does not become simple heaviness.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The domaine's technical sheet evokes blackcurrant bud, poppy fields, raspberry, star anise and liquorice. Fruit, flower and spice invite slow comparison as the wine opens in the glass, at 13% alcohol. In this ripe vintage the fruit centre is generous, with the estate's characteristically silky, full palate and delicate energy working together. With age, forest floor, dried flowers and truffle join in. Roast duck with five-spice used sparingly, venison with a light jus or aged Comté allow that progression to show. The tannins have presence, but the producer's description stresses harmony rather than display.
Winery Background
Génot-Boulanger farms only 0.43 hectare of Clos de Vougeot, in the lieu-dit Les Boudes Basses, and the Pinot Noir was planted in 1986. The estate was founded in Meursault in 1974, but its organic certification dates from the 2018 vintage, so it does not apply to this 2015. Grapes are picked by hand and fully destemmed. Native-yeast fermentation lasts roughly two to three weeks, with gentle extraction. After about a year in oak with limited new barrels, the wine spends six months in stainless steel and is bottled unfiltered, so the fine-grained fruit stays central.
