About the Producer
Jean-Pierre Guyon runs a medium sized vineyard in Vosne-Romanée. With the ECOCERT accreditation, the domaine embraces practices that respect organic life. The viticulture approaches allow vines to grow with autonomy, lunar cycles are accounted for during interventions, and harvest is timed meticulously to ensure optimal ripeness.
Jean-Pierre, being inventive and detailed-oriented, ensures the grapes portray biographical narratives of their environment, weather conditions and the soil conditions. He devotes long hours in the vineyards to ensure grapes are healthy, wholesome and alive. Laborious hand sorting and de-stemming techniques warrant transformation of grapes to wines with a strikingly perfumed nose reminiscent of roses.
The sulphur levels in the wines are negligible below 10mg/l.
