Genetie ‘Illuminé’ Chardonnay, AOP Bourgogne 2024

FPB9506

Boutinot France

The word GENETIE is engraved in the footstone of a pillar that holds up a 16th century house situated at the heart of an estate in Southern Burgundy. Just as that stone represents the foundations of the building, so too does the region of Burgundy represent the beginnings of Boutinot France; the heart of our French winemaking activity for over 30 years. This history is etched into the wines we present, reflecting both the typicity and elegance of the region, and also Boutinot’s enthusiasm for creating wines which encapsulate their appellation, according to our tenet: Vignes, Terres, Temps.

Production

From a 12 hectare plot in the village of Bussières, to the south of the Mâconnais region, with an average vine age of about 40 years. The soil is classic argilo-calcaire that suits Chardonnay so well and that lends elegance and finesse to the final wines. 10% of the wine is barrel aged to give a more textural, slightly creamy element.

Tasting notes

A classic Chardonnay from Southern Burgundy - fine buttery and floral notes on the nose and a wine of substance and finesse on the palate. Some creamy textural notes up front reveal the discreet presence of oak, whilst on the finish there is some underlying minerality and a hint of citrus zestiness that provides long lasting flavours.

Food match

An admirable accompaniment to the classic Burgundian dish of poulet à la crème (chicken in creamy sauce), or a shellfish chowder. Great with vegetable risotto and pan fried fish, too.
