Clos du Roy, the King of Cortons!
Gault Millau 18/20, RVF Guide 16.5/20, La Revue du Vin de France ****, Burghound 91–93This large family-owned estate spans some 50 hectares across both coasts (Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits), including a small 0.55-hectare plot of “ Clos du Roy ", often hailed as the greatest of the Let's cut to the chase. A great success for this 2004, with a full-bodied palate and a refined style, both subtle and full-bodied on the palate. A wine that truly reflects both its terroir and this prestigious appellation of the Beaune Coast who considers only herself to be the one and only Grand Cru of red.

Bettane & Desseauve
Rated estate (2022 guide): 3 stars (High-quality production, setting the standard 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, cultivated organically and certified as of the 2018 vintage. The reds, made from partially destemmed grapes, combine ripe fruit with fine tannins. They are faithful expressions of their terroirs, with the 2018 vintage offering a range of well-crafted reds where the Corton Clos-du-Roi leads 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 belonging to nearly 80 owners in the commune of Meuilley in the Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuits, totaling 22 hectares. 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 vineyard is meticulously tended, with plowing, moderate soil amendments, limited yields, and grapes always sorted at harvest time. 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 density.
