We're talking to you about his Winery
| The Clos des Vignes du Maynes, at Cruzille in the Mâconnais, is now run by Julien Guillot. Its wines gain in width, depth, finesse and complexity over time. We are thinking more particularly of vintages such as Aragonite (white) or Manganite (red) but also the Auguste vintage (with Pinot Noir grapes). To be patient, there are fresher, more accessible wines in the early years, such as Mâcon Cruzille in white, or the 910 cuvée in red (a blend of Gamay, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay). Finally, the trade developed by Julien, like this Mâcon Villages, also gives real good emotions. These wines also deserve to be presented in the range. This Winery has had a succession of illustrious owners, starting with the monks of the Abbey of Cluny (instead of 'maynes', read 'monks'). They registered this clos as early as 910. Pierre, Julien's grandfather, who bought the vines in 1954, was one of the first winegrowers to claim and work organically and without the use of inputs in winemaking, a pioneer in terms of natural wine! | The Winery is in a magnificent 7 ha vineyard, composed of 27 plots planted with the 3 historical grape varieties of the region: Pinot noir, Gamay and Chardonnay for a third of each. This terroir (the monks were not mistaken) has very important geological particularities which give the wines a great deal of complexity and minerality. For all these centuries, the vines that have lived here, in these lands, have never seen chemistry. It is at the same time a Winery, a terroir but also a strong history. It is in this context that Julien Guillot took over this work in 1998 with passion and a very strong will, a lot of conviction and methodology. He continued in his own way and introduced Biodynamics as soon as he arrived. Julien knows each of the plots of land by heart and can spend hours talking to you about them... Passion... |
