Jean Michel Guillon Bourgogne Pinot Noir "Les Graviers" 2023
From £46.95
Why Mark chose this
Jean-Michel Guillon built his domaine from scratch in Gevrey-Chambertin and was named Winemaker of the Year 2020 by the Guide Hachette. Les Graviers is his village-level Bourgogne Rouge, but given his address and his approach, it has more character than the appellation name might suggest. Good Pinot Noir at the regional level, with proper Gevrey DNA.

Tasting Notes
Born in Paris, Jean-Michel Guillon arrived at Gevrey-Chambertin in 1980 when he retired from aeronautics. With a special love for the use of new oak barrels, he jokingly refers to himself as “the biggest oak barrel consumer” in Gevrey Chambertin. He has built up a Domaine of reputation from scratch with the help of his good friends and mentors like Rene Galland and the well-renowned Henri Jayer. Their wine range includes many prestigious appellations like Mazis-Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, Gevrey-Chambertin, Morey Saint-Denis, etc. As Allen Meadows commented: “Jean-Michel Guillon’s wines retain a clear sense of style and grace and remain identifiably Pinot Noir”. Jean-Michel Guillon was also elected as Winemaker of the Year 2020 by the famous French wine guide book - Guide Hachette.
