Domaine Guillot-Broux Bourgogne “Les Geniévrières” 2019 (90+ WA) (90+)
“The 2019 Bourgogne Pinot Noir Les Geniévrières unwinds in the glass with notes of peonies, sweet red berries and plums. Medium to full-bodied, deep and sapid, with lively acids and powdery tannins, it concludes with a saline, perfumed finish. This Pinot Noir was vinified with 80% whole clusters and saw 18 months’ élevage, and readers should plan on forgetting it in the cellar for a few years, as it’s built to age.” – W.K.

Situated on the same terroir as the white wine of the same name, the Pinots in the Genièvrières have been planted in three different places: two on quite shallow soil cover, bringing structure to the wine; and the third on terraces that have more soil cover, giving a fruitier side to the wine. The wines from these three areas are blended into one cuvee, Les Genièvrières Rouge. This wine has the elegance and minerality to warrant being aged.

Mâcon Cruzille
Located in Cruzille, Emmanuel’s family comes from five generations of Burgundian grape growers and barrel makers. Emmanuel’s grandfather was a pioneer in organic viticulture and created the first organic vineyard in Burgundy in 1954 (certified since 1991). The story of the small town of Cruzille becoming the birthplace of organic agriculture in Burgundy is truly unbelievable. Today, the Domaine is run by brothers Emmanuel and Patrice, who maintain their family's historic winemaking and vineyard practices that are rooted in deep respect for both wine and the land.
