Domaine des Vignes du Maynes is based in Cruzille in the northern Mâconnais and has been farmed by the Guillot family since the early twentieth century. Julien Guillot took full responsibility for the estate in 1998 and immediately committed the vineyards to organic and biodynamic farming, making it one of the earliest adopters in Burgundy. The domaine works a mosaic of old vine parcels on limestone and clay soils at elevations between 300 and 400 metres, with many vines planted between the nineteen twenties and nineteen fifties. All work in the vines is manual, yields are extremely low, and harvesting is carried out parcel by parcel with strict selection. In the cellar Guillot follows a resolutely low intervention philosophy built on whole cluster fermentations, indigenous yeasts, no additions and long élevage in neutral vessels, aiming to transmit site, vine age and vintage character with absolute clarity.

Bourgogne Les Crays Pinot Noir 2023 comes from a stony hillside parcel of Pinot Noir rooted in shallow limestone soils with minimal clay, giving naturally low yields and high aromatic lift. The 2023 growing season allowed full phenolic ripeness without excess weight. Grapes were harvested by hand and fermented entirely as whole clusters, with slow infusion extraction. The wine was aged in older barrels to preserve clarity and tension. The style is lifted and transparent, marked by cranberry, red currant, rose petal and a long, chalky finish.
