At the end of the 1900s, Jean-Louis Geniest grouped together the family vineyards to build up the Mas Saint Louis estate. The acquisition and renovation of the Maison Vigneronne in 1909 - in the Clos district of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, accelerated the development of the estate along with the first harvests. Louis, Jean-Louis' grandson, acquired new vineyards and Mas Saint Louis estate now covers about 30 hectares in a single block enabling for extreme consistency in the Geniest wines.
The story
Vinification
Utilizing organic farming practices (although not certified), the grapes are hand-picked and sorted with traditional winemaking techniques, followed by minimal aging in Burgundian barrels (20%), to merely support the full potential and development of the wine as opposed to defining it with oak, resulting in elegant, complex and expressive white that speak eloquently of its birthplace.
