2013 Antonin Guyon Savigny-lès-Beaune 'Les Goudelettes'

In the complex landscape of Burgundy there is both a wealth of centuries-old domaines and an exciting crop of new-wave vignerons gaining lots of attention. In the middle ground, there lies some often overlooked wineries with great holdings who produce compelling wines. Antonin Guyon started his winery in the 1960's while he was in the his 50's with key vineyard parcels in Meursault and Gevrey-Chambertin. Over time, his son Dominique added great variety to the holdings with thoughtful acquisitions of holdings throughout the entire Côte d'Or.

From Savigny-lès-Beaune, the home appellation of Domaine Antonin Guyon, 'Les Goudelettes' is a great approachable introduction to the style of the wine from this thoughtful vigneron. An enticing savory element underlies a core of plush red and black fruits offering a great wine to open tonight or wait another five years on.
