Histoire du domaine
The Boisson family has long been established in Meursault. Bernard Boisson developed the family vineyard from the early 1980s onwards, gradually planting and acquiring plots in the Côte de Beaune. The estate was then known as Boisson-Vadot, a name derived from Bernard Boisson and his wife, née Vadot. The handover to their children, Anne and Pierre Boisson, began in 2017. The vineyards have been divided between the Anne Boisson and Pierre Boisson labels, whilst the former Bernard Boisson-Vadot label is no longer used for new vintages. Anne Boisson cultivates a 1.5-hectare plot, comprising, in particular, plots of Meursault and a Bourgogne Aligoté. All the wines are vinified in the family cellar in Meursault by Pierre Boisson.
Genevrières (Meursault)
Genevrières is a climat officially classified as a Premier Cru of the AOC Meursault, located in the heart of the Premier Cru slope. Its area brings together the lieux-dits Les Genevrières Dessus, Les Genevrières Dessous, part of Les Chaumes des Perrières, and part of Les Chaumes de Narvaux. Sources describe clay-limestone soils and a variable subsoil composed of rocky scree, limestone slabs, or white limestone rock. The altitude, slope, and exposure data published by certain estates concern their own parcels and are therefore not retained as quantified characteristics of the climat as a whole.

- Soil

Histoire de la parcelle
The terroir appears in the form "En Genevrier" in a rental roll of the lordship of Meursault dated 1608-1609. Les Genevrières Dessous also appear in the historical cadastral documents of Meursault, while the modern delimitation of the climat groups together several cadastral lieux-dits. Genevrières is today officially recognized among the climats that can complement the Meursault appellation with the "premier cru" mention.
