Our Review of the Cuvée
The bright, deep golden-yellow color elegantly catches the light. On the nose, the bouquet opens with a refined expression of white-fleshed fruits—ripe pear, white peach—enriched with delicate floral notes and a subtle buttery and mineral touch that heralds the nobility of the terroir. On the palate, the attack is full-bodied and silky, carried by a superb texture that blends richness and freshness. The body reveals a beautiful density, without heaviness, supported by a saline minerality that gives the wine its precision and balance. The finish lingers with finesse, leaving behind delicate aromas of ripe fruit, light honey, and warm stone. A beautifully expressive Chassagne-Montrachet, harmonious and deep, that embodies the elegance and complexity of its terroir.

Les Héritiers Saint-Genys
Burgundy | France
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 12-hectare estate, abandoned between the Côte de Beaune and the Côte Chalonnaise, which he entirely restructured with rigor and humility. The estate cultivates highly diverse plots, from Chassagne-Montrachet to Santenay, extending to the Côte Chalonnaise, with a notable exception: the Mercurey Premier Cru Clos Marcilly, a monopole. Each wine expresses its specific terroir (climat), from the convivial Bourgogne Aligoté to the more distinct Premier Crus. The cuvées, acclaimed by several guides, reflect identical rigor for each appellation. Being a winemaker in Chassagne-Montrachet remains an honor for Patrice, one he strives to earn every day.
