Guillaume Guiton is a fiercely dedicated and extraordinary vigneron and a super nice guy. In the grand scheme of Burgundy, his vineyards would be considered modest…his wines, we consider, anything but. He has been running this 11.5 hectare Domaine since 2002. His father Jean started it in 1973. Very much a hybrid estate, Guillaume owns 4ha, rents the rest and even buys grapes in his pursuit of the best he can get.

He produces about 50,000 bottles per year. He is a devoted terroirista, who welcomes the opportunity not to intervene in what nature offers. His methods vary based on vintage circumstances but he usually de-stems his red grapes and mostly avoids fining and filtration. Guillaume is an intense student of barrels. He raises many wines in a variety of barrels before blending, only uses them for 6 years and never employs more than 20% new oak.

Guiton draws upon grapes grown in vineyards at the bottom of the Cote de Beaune, near Volnay and Guiton’s premier cru vineyards. The sandy-clay and limestone-clay soils were planted in 1991. While the vines are not certified organic, Guillaume Guiton does not use pesticides or herbicides and pursues a minimally invasive approach to the vineyards.

Hand-harvested grapes are sorted on a destemming table and then fermented in concrete using native yeast prior to aging in a mix 2nd to 7th use French oak for 9 months before being bottled. The wine is released after a further 3 months in bottle.

About Domaine Jean Guiton Wines

For Jean GUITON the adventure began in Bligny-les-Beaune in 1975, with 2 hectares of vines worked under a sharecropping agreement. A first vat room was built in 1977, with a cellar and the family home added in 1979. By 1985, the domaine’s vineyards had gradually increased to 4.5 hectares lying in the Ladoix, Aloxe-Corton and Bligny-les-Beaune areas.

In 1986, with the addition of the Pernand 1er Cru, Savigny 1er Cru and Beaune 1er Cru appellations, the domaine grew to 10 hectares. A new vat room, which was more spacious and better equipped with stainless steel vats and a temperature control system, was created.

An ageing cellar for up to 300 barrels was also constructed in 1989. A few vineyard plots in the Volnay and Pommard appellations were also added. In 2000, Jean’s son, Guillaume, joined the domaine bringing with him a dash of daring! Today, he works 11.5 hectares of vineyards in the Côte de Beaune. The wines are aged for 18 months, entirely in oak barrels, 20% of which are new. Today, Domaine Guiton’s wines have become stars on London restaurant scene.
