The Genetin bottling is normally reserved for the most powerful cuvées in the winery. It is produced from 25 year-old vines from a terroir made of \"Villiers Limestone\" (\"Calcaire de Villiers\" in French - it is also called \"Caillottes\"), situated in the hamlet of Le Bouchot, located 1.5 miles Northwest of Pouilly-sur-Loire. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\" style=\"margin: 0px 0px 11px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan face=\"Verdana\" style=\"font-family: Verdana;\"\u003eTraditional vinification in thermo-regulated stainless steel tanks.
