DOMAINE GUILLOT-BROUX

DOMAINE GUILLOT-BROUX

Domaine Guillot-Broux was created in 1978, largely from historic vineyards that had been abandoned after the Phylloxera crisis. Today the domaine as well as a small amount of négociant activity is run by brothers Emmanuel & Patrice Guillot. The domaine has been certified organic since 1991 though farmed that way since its creation, something quite rare in the Mâconnais. The hand-picked Chardonnay grapes are directly pressed into barrel where they ferment in modest amounts of new oak, if any. The reds are fermented in small tanks often with the inclusion of some whole bunches. Despite their humble appellations, these are serious wines with long ageing potential.
