Domaine
Jean-Michel Guillon
Born in Paris, Jean-Michel Guillon arrived at Gevrey-Chambertin in 1980 when he retired from aeronautics.
Jean-Michel Guillon started his estate with just 2.3 hectares of vines. With the help of his good friends and mentors Rene Galland and the renowned Henri Jayer, Jean-Michel was able to grow his domaine to over 15 hectares spanning more than 20 appellations.
The wines of Jean-Michel Guillon include many prestigious appellations such as Mazis-Chambertin, Clos de Vougeot, Gevrey-Chambertin, and Morey Saint-Denis.
With a special love for the use of new oak barrels, he jokingly refers to himself as “the biggest oak barrel consumer” in Gevrey Chambertin.
As Allen Meadows commented: “Jean-Michel Guillon’s wines retain a clear sense of style and grace and remain identifiably Pinot Noir”.
Jean-Michel Guillon was also elected as Winemaker of the Year 2020 by the famous French wine guide book – Guide Hachette.
