Les Héritiers Saint-Genys is a French winery based in Chassagne-Montrachet, Burgundy. The estate produces a wide range of wines from its approximately 14 hectares of vineyards, which are distributed across various appellations within the Côte de Beaune, the Côte Châlonnaise, and Beaujolais.

The Gamay grapes come from a vineyard of just under three hectares, located on a steep slope in an area known as "En Ruyère," in the southern part of the appellation. Here, in the district of Villié-Morgon, the vines, situated at an altitude of 360 to 400 meters with a southeast-facing exposure, sink their roots into stony, ancient alluvial soils, which contribute to the production of exceptionally rich grapes. This section of ​​the Beaujolais appellation is widely renowned for producing wines that lean toward a Burgundian style and possess good aging potential.

On the nose, the wine immediately reveals its complex character, with notes of forest berries, blackberry, blueberry, and black cherry, followed by hints of tar and minerals. On the palate, it is powerful, fresh, and harmonious, boasting a robust structure and an excellent complexity of flavors. A lively vein of acidity provides a fine balance, leading into a long, layered finish that reveals subtle spicy touches. It pairs beautifully with pheasant stew or roasted stuffed pigeon.
