Genot Boulanger Corton Charlemagne Grand Cru 2020
Vintage Character
The 2020 Burgundy season advanced quickly: a mild winter moved budburst into March, followed by heat and summer dryness. An August heatwave made harvest timing unusually important, yet the regional wine board reports ripe fruit with acidity retained. This Corton-Charlemagne comes from a steep southwest-facing section of Le Charlemagne. Its shallow, rocky, silica-bearing calcareous marl is poor soil for a vine but a defining setting for a concentrated Chardonnay. In 2020 the early, warm vintage keeps the stony slope's long, firm finish. Vinous scored the wine 93 to 95.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing
The estate's profile for the wine is broad and sunlit: nectarine, almost apricot, sweet spice, peach and ginger. It describes a substantial, tactile palate that ends with limestone and a faint smoke-like suggestion, at 13.5% alcohol. In 2020 the fruit centre is plush, while acidity stops the mouthfeel from becoming merely lush. The finish is where fruit volume meets mineral direction. Nectarine and spice build as the wine warms in the glass, and the limestone note stays clear at the end. Pair with roast turbot, lobster or chicken with ginger. Serve at 12 to 14 degrees.
Winery Background
Most vines in the 0.29-hectare holding were planted in 1940. The slope's exposure and old Chardonnay are the details behind the grand-cru name, not an interchangeable Corton address. Génot-Boulanger has been based in Meursault since its founding in 1974, and its vineyards have been organically certified since the 2018 vintage. It hand-harvests, whole-bunch presses and ferments its white wines in oak after light settling, without sulphur added at the outset. About twelve months in barrel, with limited new oak, are followed by six months in stainless steel. Bottling is unfiltered, allowing generous fruit and the site's calcareous ending to share the stage.
