Domaine Antonin Guyon - Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru Les Fournières 2022
91/100
Wine Spectator
"An Aloxe-Corton 1er Cru with great potential—open it now or let it age in the cellar for a few years!"
“In this supple wine, notes of cherry and blackberry are accompanied by a sweet touch reminiscent of sawdust. Tart, intense, and well-balanced, it offers a long finish with chalky notes. Best enjoyed between 2027 and 2042.” (Wine Spectator 2025)

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide): 3*Stars (High-quality production that serves as a benchmark in its sector)
About the estate:
With 47 hectares spread across 25 climats, this family-owned estate—composed of countless small plots—boasts a unique viticultural heritage, featuring, in particular, a first-rate selection of vineyards from the area surrounding the Corton hill. The wines are true to their terroirs of origin, unpretentious, and full of sincerity. The estate is managed by Dominique Guyon and has been organically farmed and certified since the 2018 vintage. The reds, made from partially destemmed grapes, combine ripe fruit with fine tannins. They are true reflections of their terroirs, and the 2018 vintage features a range of well-crafted reds, with the Corton Clos-du-Roi leading the pack—which is hardly surprising. Among the whites, the Meursault Charmes-Dessus and Pernand-Sous-Frétille are particularly noteworthy.

About the estate:
This large 48-hectare estate is located in Savigny-lès-Beaune. In the 1960s, Antonin Guyon purchased parcels of land stretching from Gevrey-Chambertin to Meursault. In 1970, his son Dominique expanded the estate. He succeeded in acquiring 350 plots—totaling 22 hectares—belonging to nearly 80 owners in the commune of Meuilley in the Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuits. Today, Dominique Guyon manages the estate and oversees winemaking with the help of his cellar master—who is also his vineyard manager—Vincent Nicot. The vineyards are meticulously tended, with plowing, moderate soil amendments, limited yields, and grapes always sorted during harvest. The estate offers a wide range of wines from both the Côte-de-Nuits and the Côte-de-Beaune, including numerous 1er Crus, several Grands Crus from Corton, and a Charmes-Chambertin. All the wines display beautiful, straightforward fruit and great depth.
