Description
What kind of wine it is
The Julien Guillot Clos des Vignes du Maynes Bourgogne Rouge is an organic red wine from Burgundy, a true expression of Pinot Noir. Its bright ruby red colour with violet highlights introduces an aromatic bouquet of cherry, wild strawberry and rose, enriched by subtle spices and earthy notes. On the palate, it is fresh and vibrant, defined by crisp red fruits, fine tannins and a finish marked by pronounced minerality. Ideal for pairing with mushroom dishes, pork, roast chicken and delicate cheeses, it shows its character best when decanted for about an hour and served between 14 and 16°C.
Where it comes from
This wine originates in Cruzille at the historic Clos des Vignes du Maynes, an estate with records dating back to 910. The old vines from the 1950s are rooted in clay-limestone soil from the Bathonian, a geological matrix that imparts a distinct tension to the palate. The estate cultivates its seven hectares according to the principles of biodynamic agriculture, maintaining a farming approach that has always been free from synthetic chemicals. This respectful approach to the ecosystem allows the wine to faithfully convey the identity and depth of its place of origin.
How it is produced
Domaine Clos des Vignes du Maynes employs very low-intervention methods to preserve the purity of the raw material. The cellar process begins with a semi-carbonic maceration carried out by indigenous yeasts, a key technique for maintaining the floral and fruity fragrance typical of the grape variety. A subsequent eighteen-month maturation promotes structural balance, softening the delicate tannic texture. Production concludes without filtration, a technical choice aimed at safeguarding the wine’s natural structure and vitality.
History and Curiosities
Documented as early as 910 in Cruzille, the Clos des Vignes du Maynes boasts a thousand-year-old history. Managed by the same family since 1952, the estate has historically excluded the use of chemicals, and today adopts a strict certified biodynamic agriculture. The renowned Cuvée Auguste is produced from old Pinot Noir vines dating back to the 1950s, deeply rooted in a prized clay-limestone soil. This virtuous approach enhances the estate’s seven hectares, offering a vibrant and authentic expression of the Burgundy terroir in the glass.
