Les Héritiers Saint-Genys
Les Héritiers Saint-Genys operates in Chassagne-Montrachet, the prestigious heart of Burgundy's Côte de Beaune, where limestone soils and continental climate shape wines of mineral precision and age-worthy structure. The winery's portfolio centers on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay—the region's classical expressions—alongside Gamay. Its Reserve Mercurey 1er Cru 'Clos Marcilly' Monopole, a Pinot Noir from the adjacent Mercurey appellation, demonstrates the darker, earthier character of that terroir, while the Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru 'Les Referts' showcases the refined, complex whites for which the Côte de Beaune is renowned. The Aux Charmes, a Gamay-based wine, offers a lighter counterpoint. Decanter and Wine Enthusiast have assessed the winery's top releases, reflecting the caliber of fruit and winemaking on display.
