Youth and determination

We don't hold back our pleasure! We never do. Under any circumstances. We're enchanted by every new thing. Like a child opening his packages on Christmas morning. Like a bee on its first flower. Like a... Okay, that's going a bit far, but still... We're delighted to welcome Raphaëlle Guyot's new 2023 vintage !

Trained by Thibault Liger Belair, Cyril Fhal and Vincent Pinard, Raphaëlle Guyot is passionate about vines and wine, and today owns 1.5 hectares in production in the "Vin de Pays de l'Yonne" appellation. She has opted for a high trellised vine to adapt to climate change and naturally reinforce the plant's defenses. Organic treatments, agroforestry, respect for living organisms and listening to her ecosystem are all part of her daily routine and balance.

On the winemaking front, it's no surprise that we're dealing with lively wines, gently accompanied, without forced extraction or excessive crushing. No chemicals are used, apart from an ounce of sulfur sometimes added at bottling if the wine proves fickle when young.

After presenting the "petites cuvées" in the spring, here are the wines that have benefited from a little longer ageing. Two magnificent pinot noirs, le Baiser and les Robinettes (which we no longer present). Whole harvest, maceration, delicacy, listening. The Pinots are crisp and delicious, just the way we like them. Then there are 2 whites: La Valse, a superb Sauvignon, perfectly mastered, and Galatée, a mouth-watering Aligoté. Here again, these two wines perfectly illustrate the profile of this talented young winemaker, and we're likely to be hearing a lot more about her....

As quantities are very limited, we limit purchases to between 1 and 3 bottles per cuvée and per customer, to enable as many people as possible to enjoy them.
