michel guillemot retour a la terre 2018
Reference: 102734Stock: 6 (stock immediately available)
Condition: bottle in perfect condition
domaine guillemot-michel is a small family estate located in "quintaine", between the villages of viré and clessé, in the heart of the viré-clessé appellation, one of the three crus of the mâconnais. in 1982, after studying viticulture and oenology, pierrette michel and her husband marc guillemot returned to the estate of pierrette's parents. in 1985 they bottled their first vintage under the name "guillemot-michel". the vines were converted to organic farming as soon as they returned, then to biodynamic farming from 1991 (demeter certification 1992-2017, biodyvin since 2018). since 2012, their daughter sophie, now assisted by her husband gautier, has been following the same path, gradually taking over the management of the estate. sophie, gautier, pierrette and marc cultivate 6.5ha of old chardonnay vines (55-60 years) located around the hamlet of quintaine. our biodynamic work aims first of all to maintain a living soil, by mechanical and non-chemical maintenance, and by refusing all synthetic phytosanitary products during treatments, in favour of mineral substances and plant-based preparations. these preparations are made on the estate or in groups with other winegrowers. we cultivate some of the plants used (yarrow, horsetail, nettle, alfalfa, valerian, comfrey, thyme, oregano, savory, etc.) or gather wild plants. as long as there are vines, there is hope. michel guillemot retour a la terre 2018 is a chardonnay vinified for eleven months in earthenware jars. it expresses maturity, fine vivacity and beautiful mineral bitters.
