"With a lovely perfume of wild blackberry, even bramble, this red delivers firm, dense material with lively, acidic fruit. A wine in its gangue, which will only reveal itself in the long term". (Le Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France - RVF) The palate has an elegant, pure texture, with extremely fine tannins and superb structure. An estate benchmark!

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated 16.5/20 (Reference wine)
Domain rated (2022 guide) 3*Stars (High-quality production, a benchmark in its sector)
About the wine:
It displays the same aromatic finesse as the Clos-du-Roi, but is less tannic. Powerful, full-bodied, racy and dense on the palate, with a finish of brandied fruit, morello cherry and blackberry.
About the domain :
With 47 hectares in 25 climats, this family estate, assembled from innumerable parcels, boasts a unique winegrowing heritage, including a first-rate representation of the Corton hillside. The wines are faithful to their original terroirs, unpretentious and full of sincerity. The estate is managed by Dominique Guyon, and will be certified organic from the 2018 vintage. The reds, made from partially destemmed grapes, combine ripe fruit and fine tannins. They are faithful representatives of their terroir of origin, with a successful range of reds in 2018, where Corton Clos-du-Roi is leading the way, which is not unusual. In white, outstanding Meursault charmes-dessus and Pernand sous-frétille.

About the wine:
With a lovely perfume of wild blackberry, even bramble, this red delivers a firm, dense body with lively, acidic fruit. A wine in its gangue that will only reveal itself in the long term.
About the domain :
Founded in 1960 by Antonin Guyon, the domaine is now run by his son Dominique, who is passionate about winemaking, and supervised by Greek oenologist Kyriakos Kynigopoulos. The range on offer is extensive, with highlights in Côte de Nuits including a remarkable Chambolle Clos du Village and, in Côte de Beaune, four superb Cortons, including a Corton-Charlemagne.

About the domain :
This large 48-hectare estate is located in Savigny-lès-Beaune. In the 1960s, Antonin Guyon purchased parcels from Gevrey-Chambertin to Meursault. In 1970, his son Dominique completed the estate. He succeeded in bringing together 350 parcels belonging to nearly 80 owners in the commune of Meuilley in the Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuits, representing a total of 22 hectares. Today, Dominique Guyon runs the estate and carries out the vinifications with the help of his cellar master, who is also his vineyard manager, Vincent Nicot. The vineyard is particularly well tended, with ploughing, moderate soil improvement, limited yields and grapes always sorted at harvest time. The domaine offers a wide range of wines in both Côte-de-Nuits and Côte-de-Beaune, with many 1ers Crus and a few Grands Crus de Corton and a Charmes-Chambertin. All the wines have great fruit and density.
