Located in Gevrey-Chambertin, one of Bourgogne’s most celebrated and sought after villages, Domaine Le Guellec-Ducouet is a young and exciting voice. In 2018, Michaël Le Guellec and Arnaud Ducouet left their previous lives behind and decided to follow their passions for agriculture, the environment, and wine. Together they built a new domain with parcels from Guellec’s family vineyards, dedicated to producing authentic, high quality wines with as much respect for nature as possible. The pair’s modest 3.7 hectares are farmed with organic practices and no herbicides and have been HVE (‘High Environmental Value’) certified. The site has also been registered as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. All harvesting is done manually and only indigenous yeast is used for fermentation. The domaine is currently producing just two cuvées, 'Les Jeunes Rois' and the ‘Clos Champ’. These Pinot Noirs are beautiful examples of the wines produced in this special region; powerful yet delicate, structured and smooth.
Deep red cherry notes with subtle strawberry and purple florals mingle with a hint of woody underbrush. Since these are not cru wines they offer an excellent opportunity to try this prestigious classification at a slightly more affordable price point. That being said, Domaine Le Guellec-Ducouet is very small production and currently only available in the state of Georgia (lucky us!) so we don’t anticipate it to last long.
