Domaine Guillot-Broux Mâcon-Cruzille “Les Perrières” 2019 (94+ WA) (94+ )
“The 2019 Mâcon-Cruzille Les Perrières is superb, unwinding in the glass with notes of citrus zest, blanched almonds, crisp Anjou pear, vanilla pod and white flowers. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and textural, with a deep and concentrated core that’s girdled by chalky extract and racy acids, it’s long and penetrating, concluding with a saline, nutmeg-inflected finish. Make no mistake, what’s more: this is built to age and will be better at age 10 than it is at age five.” – W.K.

This vineyard is very picturesque, with its three terraces supported by dry-stone walls, surrounded by woods. The soil is very stony, hence the name ‘Les Perrières’ (the stony place). It is composed of oolitic limestone (microscopic fossils) and is very rich in iron and manganese. The wines are particularly suitable for ageing (20 to 30 years for the best vintages).

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.
