The estate was founded in 1974 by Charles-Henri Génot and his wife, Marie Boulanger when they left their careers as pharmacists in Paris, and moved to Meursault to pursue their dream of winemaking. Beginning with a few parcels in Mercurey they spent decades acquiring vines in Volnay, Pommard and Chassagne-Montrachet. The estate was inherited by the founders’ grandson, François Delaby in 1998. Under his 10-year tenure, they expanded their footprint to their current 54-acres, acquiring elite Premier Cru parcels like Les Folatières in Puligny-Montrachet. Since 2008, the estate has been owned and operated by François’s daughter, Aude Lavollée, and her husband, Guillaume Lavollée. They attained complete organic certification in 2018 and incorporate targeted biodynamic practices. The couple has moved the domaine out of a quiet, traditional era into a modern era of critically acclaimed, top-tier quality. Guillaume acts as the principal face and winemaker of the estate.
