2021 Jean-Pierre Guyon Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Peuillets

France / Burgundy / Cote de Beaune / Savigny-les-Beaune Premier Cru Rouge
 
Jean-Pierre Guyon Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Peuillets presents itself with a ruby-purple colour of great depth. The nose opens out to a myriad of aromas such as strawberry, passion fruit, redcurrant, and blood orange. Very promising, the nose confirms this olfactory complexity and completes it with notes of violets, sweet spice, and roasted coffee. The fine balance runs the length of our taste buds. A clear-cut and spell-binding wine.
Ready to drink from now up to 10-12 years or more depending on the vintage.

This plot is close to the Rhoin, the lively river which traverses Savigny-lès-Beaune. The word Les Peuillets is derived from the old French Pol meaning pond or marsh.

Jean-Pierre Guyon and Michel Guyon took over the Domaine Guyon from their father since 1991. The domaine Jean-Pierre Guyon moved towards organic viticulture during the 2000s. To bring clarity to the techniques of viticulture and vinification, they engaged in the process of ECOCERT accreditation in 2009, becoming certified in 2012.
