Antonin Guyon, Chardonnay, Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru "Sous Frétille" Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France 2022

A brilliant golden color, with flowery aromas and hints of hazelnuts. An elegant wine with a lot of finesse and freshness. "Sous-Frétille" parcel is located right around the bend from Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne. Serve with cooked fish or white meat with creamy sauces.

When Antonin Guyon started out in the 1960s, he had but a few small parcels of land in Gevrey and Meursault — not an uncommon footing to have in the fragmented tapestry of Burgundy. But today, thanks in part to his forward-thinking sons Dominique and Michel, the domaine has evolved into one of the most prestigious in the Côte d’Or, with day-to-day operations helmed by Dominique and his daughter, Hombeline.

Based in Savigny-lès-Beaune, the family’s vineyard properties stretch around the hill of Corton, north to Gevrey, south to Meursault, west to the Hautes Côtes de Nuits and east to Chorey-lès-Beaune. Their wines represent 15 different appellations, including an exceptional range of Premier and Grands Crus and covering many renowned cru villages, giving Domaine Antonin Guyon the depth of a traditional négociant, with estate-produced wines that represent a variety of quality tiers and price points.
