The second-generation now manage this domaine, founded by Antonin in the 1960s. Based in Savigny-les-Beaune, they own vines throughout the Cote d'Or, including parcels in some of the finest Premier and Grand cru vineyards. Harvest is by hand, with initial sorting in the vineyard; no more than 50% new oak is used, and the wines of the domaine have a classic freshness and purity to them. The vines for the Cote de Beaune-Villages are situated in the communes of Chorey-les-Beaune and Pernand-Vergelesses.

Bright, fresh fruit abounds, with exceptional ageing potential for a relatively unheralded appellation, good value here. Stony minerality makes this an ideal food-wine, with red fruit and damp forest-floor complexity.

Excellent with a roast bird, especially duck or goose.

A favourite of sommeliers in restaurants throughout Europe, Guyon wines are particularly well-suited to food-pairing, with bright flavours and succulent acidity.
