Medium to full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's elegantly muscular, with a satiny attack and a long, precise finish.”

The wines of the domaine are elegantly muscular, powerful, rich, with a long, precise finish and aromas of fruit.

Approach

Certified organic since 2018

The viticulture of Domaine Antonin Guyon has been certified organic since 2018. The vineyards are regularly ploughed, manure is used for soil fertilisation. The grapes are sorted twice - in the vineyard and winery.

The white grapes are crushed, pressed and, in order to clarify the must, racked before the fermentation. Fermentation is conveyed in the barrels made by Damy. Usually, the bottling is done after a year of maturation, but for the Corton Charlemagne after 18 months.

The red grapes are destemmed, however, there are some experiments with whole bunches depending on the terroir. The fermentation consists of three stages: one week of cold soak, one week of fermentation itself and one week of post-maceration. In addition, punching down is conveyed twice a day. The light racking is followed by 18 months of maturation in oak barrels.
