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.

Mâcon Rouge Cuvée 910 2023 is drawn from very old Pinot Noir vines planted in 1910 on limestone clay soils around Cruzille. The 2023 vintage delivered ripe but balanced fruit, with warm days tempered by cool nights that preserved acidity. Harvest took place by hand, with whole clusters fermented using native yeasts and gentle extraction to retain perfume and fine structure. Ageing was carried out in older barrels without sulphur addition. The wine is supple and finely etched, showing red cherry, wild strawberry, dried herbs and a delicate limestone driven finish.
