Genot Boulanger Clos de Vougeot Grand Cru 2017
Vintage Character
Burgundy's 2017 season changed pace several times before the early-September harvest. A rapid rise in temperature at the end of March pushed vines forward; late-April cold and local frost followed. Flowering was brief at the end of May, and the summer moved between hot spells and cooler intervals, with rainfall uneven by sector. The regional wine board records sound fruit at harvest and reds notable for vigour and balance. In this Clos de Vougeot, the 1986-planted Pinot Noir occupies Les Boudes Basses, where one set of rows runs through clayier and stonier ground, so a lively, balanced grand cru is the natural result.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The estate's profile for this wine ranges from blackcurrant bud and raspberry to poppy, star anise and liquorice, at 13% alcohol. In 2017 the brighter berry and floral side comes forward, with the darker spice register emerging as the glass opens. The full, silken palate feels lively rather than massive, with fine tannin carrying a long, calm finish. With age, forest floor and truffle develop. Try roast guinea fowl with herbs or duck with a modest cherry glaze. Berry and anise notes unfold at different speeds as the wine gains air, so decant briefly.
Winery Background
Clos de Vougeot is a grand cru, but the grower's position inside its walls is essential. Génot-Boulanger owns only 0.43 hectare in this sector, where shallow brown soil rests over Jurassic limestone and clay. Founded in Meursault in 1974, the estate's organic certification began with the 2018 vintage, so this 2017 predates it. Hand-picking, complete destemming and native-yeast fermentation of Pinot Noir are part of its method. Gentle extraction precedes twelve months in oak with limited new barrels, then six months in steel. Unfiltered bottling lets the fruit and fine-grained texture remain central.
