Marvelous Macons from the Clos des Vignes du Maynes and Guillemot-Michel!
Marvelous Macons from the Clos des Vignes du Maynes and Guillemot-Michel!
We're happy to announce the arrival of a small new shipment from Julien Guillot at the Clos des Vignes du Maynes, along with more inventory from our friends Gautier Roussille and Sophie Michel at Guillemot-Michel - two estates that are superstars of Biodynamic farming and natural winemaking in the Macon!
Clos des Vignes du Maynes
Quantities are tiny from the Clos, with only one case of 2023 "Manganite" and 3 cases of the beautiful 2022 "Aragonite" and unfortunately, there was no "Cuvée 910" produced in the 2024 vintage. However, we received a good allocation of the insanely delicious 2022 Cremant de Bourgogne "Ste. Genevieve" along with the vibrant new Macon-Cruzille "La Baume," the new vintage of "Macon-Villages" and the always complex and indestructible Macon Rouge "Selection Massale!"
Guillemot-Michel
The Mâconnais is home to numerous superb estates, many being pioneers of organic and Biodynamic farming - our favorites including Domaine de la Bongran, Domaine de Roally, Clos des Vignes du Maynes and Château des Rontets. Relatively unknown and rarely available in the US are the unique and magical wines of Domaine Guillemot-Michel in Clessé where the living soils and meticulous winemaking create vibrant Chardonnays that cellar beautifully for 20 to 30 years.
