Domaine Jean-Michel Guillon, Gevrey-Chambertin, Vieilles Vignes 2012
Domaine Jean-Michel Guillon was started in 1980 when Jean-Michel, whose background was in aeronautics, decided to move to Gevrey-Chambertin and become a winemaker. He slowly acquired vineyards and winemaking skills and today owns or leases 32 acres. He works with his eldest son, Alexis, and he also has two younger sons, which is why his recent vintages carry the label Domaine J-M Guillon et Fils. The domaine has Grand Cru parcels in Clos de Vougeot and Mazis-Chambertin, and Premier Crus in Gevrey-Chambertin and Morey-Saint-Denis. There are also village wines. Guide Hachette, one of France’s leading wine reviews, has noted that Guillon pere et fils “produce wines which are regularly mentioned in the Guide Hachette, often in the top few.”

Nose is subdued, but palate has red fruit like cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, then grilled herbs and earth emerge mid-palette. Slightly astringent on the finish with dry tannin. Delicious wine. Needs food, drink now -2028, slight improvement seems possible. 7/29/2024
