About

Based in Savigny-les-Beaune, this 47-hectare property is controlled and operated by Antonin’s son Dominique and his granddaughter Hombeline. Passionate, Dominique and Hombeline are always looking for better quality and terroir expression. Dominique created a model winery, producing wines of impeccable quality from 25+ different appellations, including some of the most renowned villages of the Côte d’Or.

Terroir

Aloxe-Corton is located in the Northern part of the Côte de Beaune.  Its vineyard benefits from exposures ranging from East to South.  The Corton is the sole red Grand Cru of the Côte de Beaune and Corton Clos du Roy is one of the most famous Corton. The Domaine Guyon wine area for Corton Clos du Roy Grand Cru covers 0.55 hectare (1.36 acres).

Vinification

Hand-harvested, the grapes are then carried in small boxes and sorted out upon arrival at the winery. Long fermentation during 20 days in wooden open vats, with punching down of the cap and temperature control. Ageing in oak barrels (50% new oak) and estate bottling after 18 months.

Tasting Notes

Very nice ruby robe with aromas of black cherry and blackcurrant.  Very rich in the mouth, very concentrated and really harmonious.  Elegant, pure and complex, with very fine tannins and a beautiful structure. This wine can be kept for 20 years.
