2012 Jean-Michel Guillon & Fils Gevrey-Chambertin 1er Cru "Les Champeaux"

Jean-Michel Guillon, a former aeronautics professional, is celebrated for his "high-intensity" winemaking style. This wine comes from Les Champeaux, a Premier Cru vineyard on the northern, cooler slopes of Gevrey-Chambertin characterized by shallow, rocky limestone soils. The 2012 vintage is now in its prime maturity.
