Our opinion on the vintage
Les Héritiers Saint-Genys
Les Héritiers Saint-Genys embodies the unique journey of Patrice du Jeu, a former restaurateur who became a winemaker out of passion and conviction. In 2010, he took over a neglected 12-hectare estate between the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise, which he completely restructured with exacting standards and humility. The estate cultivates a wide variety of parcels, from Chassagne-Montrachet to Santenay, extending into the Côte Chalonnaise, with one notable exception: the Mercurey Premier Cru Clos Marcilly monopole. Each wine expresses its terroir, from the approachable Bourgogne Aligoté to the more structured Premier Crus. The wines, praised by several guides, reflect the same rigorous approach for each appellation. Being a winemaker in Chassagne-Montrachet remains an honor for Patrice, one he strives to earn every day.
