Please join us in welcoming Emmanuel Guillot of Guillot Broux to The Wine House.
We will be tasting five of Guillot Broux wines.

The Guillot family has had their hand in viticulture in Cruzille since 1954 when Emmanuelle’s grandparents, Pierre and Jeanine Guillot, first started working organically in Burgundy. Their son, Jean-Gerard, spent some years working on the estate before going off to Domaine de la Chanal in Brouilly and Bernard Michelot in Meursault. When Jean-Gerard returned he established Domaine Guillot-Broux with his wife Jacqueline, with no more than a hectare to their name. By 1991 the estate expanded, became certified organic and had the help of two of their three sons, Ludovic, Patrice. Emmanuel, who had spent two years as a sommelier at St. James’s Club in London, returned in 2000 and following the death of his father, took over the reins as head winemaker. The estate is now approximately 16 hectare spread over a number of small vineyards in the Mâconnais villages of Cruzille, Grevilly, Pierreclos and Chardonnay. Emmanuel makes quintessential high-quality Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Gamay in northern Burgundy: the vines are on eastern facing slopes that consist mainly of clay and limestone (except the Gamay which is 60-90 years-old, and is situated on granite soils) with a high planting density that keeps the yields naturally low, around 30 and 55 hectoliters a hectare, due to the natural competition between the vines, concentrating the fruit. Emmanuel’s goal is to have as few grapes per vine naturally, increasing the concentration of flavors and the balance of the wine.

The Wine House is thrilled to be named one of ten of the "World’s Best Wine Shops" in Food & Wine! In addition to being described as a "wine geek’s dream destination" with modest markups and excellent small-production offerings, we were noted for having "an impressive lineup of classes."
