In 1954, Pierre and Jeannine Guillot created the first organic vineyard of Burgundy. Since then it has remained a pioneer in this field, and it obtained organic certification in 1991. The Guillot-Broux now have an area of 17 hectares, and their particularity for red wines consists of planting half in Pinot Noir and half in Gamay. Wine is fully matured in wood but only 5% in new vats. Macônnais Connoisseurs are delighted with such fine, succulent wines, with constantly nice prices!

It is a blend of Pinot Noir grapes from different terroirs in the Mâconnais, that meld into this wine. The Guillot brothers, who have been running the estate since 1991, carefully cultivate the vines, which are rooted in clay soil with a high concentration of silt. The two winemakers also draw inspiration from biodynamic practices to produce a very pure expression of their terroir. This terroir, similar to that of the region’s wines, offers surprising minerality and length, reminiscent of the great appellations of the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits.
To ensure the aromas remain authentic, the cuvée is matured for six months in concrete vats, allowing the fruit to express itself fully in the bottle. In the glass, the wine takes on an intense, dark ruby colour, expressing a powerful fruity bouquet. Candied fruit and hints of pepper are on the agenda, enhanced by a pleasant minerality that lingers right through to the finish.
