Jean Michel Guillon Chambolle Musigny 2022
£99.95
Why Mark chose this
Chambolle-Musigny is the most graceful village in the Côte de Nuits, and Jean-Michel Guillon, based in Gevrey-Chambertin, makes a lovely example of it. Guillon came to wine from aeronautics and built his domaine from scratch, mentored by Henri Jayer no less, which tells you something about the seriousness of his approach. Village Chambolle is where the appellation's perfume and delicacy show themselves most clearly, without the weight of the premier or grand crus.

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.
