Description
Deep crimson color. The nose is layered with berry fruit, raspberry, wild strawberry and cassis. There is lovely perfume lift and a purity of fruit. It is super fresh and focused. The palate is beautifully balanced and finely structured with spice, red berry, loads of silky tannins and a long driven finish. Lovely length.
Domaine S.C. Guillard is a hidden gem in Gevrey-Chambertin, Burgundy. Michel and his sister Odette took over the winery in 1979 from their parents who had run it for two decades. Unlike many of their neighbours in Gevrey-Chambertin, the domain was established by Michel’s grandmother, Jeanne Lyonnet, who worked as a maid in the village. She worked hard and saved enough money to buy her first few vines in 1913, which marked the beginning of the Domaine.
Michel speaks with great admiration and devotion about his grandmother, who was able to become a landowner in those days, which was an unusual occurrence for a house cleaner to buy a vineyard in one of the most sought-after villages of Burgundy!
