Background

When Antonin Guyon started out in the 1960s, he had but a few small parcels of land in Gevrey and Meursault—not an uncommon footing to have in the fragmented tapestry of Burgundy. But today, thanks in part to his forward-thinking sons Dominique and Michel, the domaine has evolved into one of the most prestigious in the Côte d’Or, with day-to-day operations helmed by Dominique and his daughter, Hombeline. Based in Savigny-lès-Beaune, the family’s vineyard properties stretch around the hill of Corton, north to Gevrey, south to Meursault, west to the Hautes Côtes de Nuits and east to Chorey-lès-Beaune. Their wines represent 15 different appellations, including an exceptional range of Premier and Grands Crus and covering many renowned cru villages, giving Domaine Antonin Guyon the depth of a traditional négociant, with estate-produced wines that represent a variety of quality tiers and price points.

Ruby-purple robe. Intense aromas of black cherry. Very rich in the mouth with delicate expression of dark berry fruits. The texture is pure and elegant, with very fine tannins and a beautiful structure.

Points

Deeply sanguine in color, with intense umami and spice upon entry, the front palate experiences deep red cherries, blood orange and fresh rose bloom. The palate is abundant with red fruit, including apple, cherry, pomegranate and rhubarb. Elegance and balance define this wine. Taub Family Selections. —A.C.C.

Points

A polished red, with black cherry, blackberry and floral aromas and flavors matched to a refined, well-integrated structure. Features fine balance, freshness and details of mineral and spices. The lingering finish echoes the fruit. Just a little compact now, so be patient. Best from 2027 through 2045. —B.S.
