Clos des Vignes du Maynes Julien Guillot 2019 Mâcon-Villages Blanc
French White
Chardonnay comes from vineyards in Chardonnay, Montbellet and Viré-Clessé, where weathered loam lies over limestone. Grapes are hand harvested and selected, then slowly pressed and settled for six to eighteen hours. Fermentation begins with indigenous yeasts in tank without sulphur. The wine spends twelve months on the lees, receives small sulphur additions during racking and after filtration, and is bottled after light filtration.

The grapes come from vines between twenty-five and eighty years old and are harvested by hand. A short carbonic maceration is followed by eighteen months in a conical wooden vat. The vineyard is farmed biodynamically, and the wine is classified as natural.

Precise reduction and texture are also present.
Clos des Vignes du Maynes 2019 Mâcon-Cruzille Aragonite

An expressive, complex nose accompanies breadth, finesse and length. The Chardonnay comes from a 0.45-hectare parcel of massal-selection vines aged sixty to eighty years, rooted in shallow clay-limestone soils rich in silica and aragonite. Grapes are harvested by hand, slowly pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts in 600-litre demi-muids, followed by ten months on lees without racking.
Julien Guillot 2019 Macon Rouge Selection Massale
French Red
High-toned yet deeply fruited, with plush blackberry, Southeast Asian spice and a distinct granitic note. The palate is energetic and transparent, pairing generous fruit with a bright core of acidity and an easy natural flow. Freshness keeps the wine vivid and composed, carrying savoury mineral detail through the clean, persistent finish.
