Domaine Jean Michel Guillon & Fils

The Jean-Michel Guiilon wines are haut-couture for hedonists. Self-confessed neo-classicist Jean-Michel Guillon created his domaine in 1980, getting off the train from Paris without any training or qualifications! Year on year he studied the experienced masters in the region as only an outsider would. Through tireless work he has built relationships that have lead to land acquisition and today owns almost 10 hectares of wines and works on several more. Along with his son Alexis, JM has built a Domaine that is quite clearly amongst the finest in the world. He is testament to the cumulative effect of hard work and intelligence.

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”. Guillon and his son, Alexis, believe in growing and harvesting perfect and perfectly ripe fruit. Tending their vineyards, Gevrey, Morey St Denis, Chambolle-Musigny, Clos du Vougeot with meticulous, hands-on care. Chambolle Musigny is often regarded as the most “feminine” wine of the Côte de Nuits. Fermented and matured in new Burgundian Oak.

Jean-Michel Guillon was also elected as Winemaker of the Year 2020 by the famous French wine guide book - Guide Hachette.
