BACKGROUND

Domaine Antonin Guyon is one of the most prestigious estates in the Côte d’Or, as well as one of the largest family-owned wineries in the region. It was started in the 1960s by Antonin Guyon with parcels of land in Gevrey and Meursault. Today, the massive 47 hectare property is controlled and operated today by Antonin’s sons, Dominique and Michel and produces wines of impeccable quality from 15 different appellations, which includes many renowned villages from the region. An exceptional range of Premier and Grands Crus.

WINEMAKING & VINTAGE NOTES

The vineyard covers 1 acre on south facing slopes and is well-kown for the quality of its wines. Hand harvested, the grapes are then carried in small boxes and sorted out upon arrival at the winery. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out at 64-68°F in oak casks. The lees are stirred in barrels once a week. Ageing in oak barrels and estate bottled after 12 months.

TASTING NOTES

A bright colour, with aromas of lime and grapefruit. The very refreshing fruit is supported by good acidity. This is an easy-to drink wine with a good structure. To be served at 55°F, with marbled ham, most fishes and cheeses.
