Producer Information

Chteau Gnot-Boulanger
and the winegrowing-monks of CiteauxThe history of this domain sinks its roots back to the most ancient sources, to the Cistercian monks of Citeaux who, during the 12th century, were responsible for reviving the Burgundy winegrowing area, including of course Clos de Vougeot, now the emblematic, but not unique vestige of this period. We find ourselves in Meursault, in a castle, a real castle constructed during the 19th century in place of the outbuildings of Chteau de Citeaux.The Gnot family prospered in pharmaceuticals. Pharmacists were in fact the very first oenologists, since they alone were able to analyse foodstuffs and wine. Since 1974, this family business has been run by Franois Delaby, for whom vine growing is a form of art. Before taking over the management of this domain, he excelled as an interior designer, dealing with painting and design. It is in fact a family tradition: design, writing and art all working for the cause of wine. Franois Delaby is assisted by a team which includes a vineyard manager who supervises the domains 27.54 hectares and a consultant oenologist who masters Burgundys typical diversity. His daughter Aude and future son-in-law are members of the management team.Like the majority of domains in Burgundy, the appellations of the same estate are scattered here and there in the area: over a distance of 60 km, 92 plots of vines (climats) are all part of the same domain. They are spread from Chambolle Musigny in the Cte de Nuits, to Mercurey in the Cte Chalonnaise. There are eighteen appellations for white wines, including a Great Growth and seven First Growths, and fourteen appellations for red wines, including two Great Growths and seven First Growths.
