Elevating the wines of the Mâcon, the Guillot family has been a champion of organic winemaking and single vineyard wine production for nearly 70 years. Jean-Gérard Guillot founded Domaine Guillot-Broux in 1978 and was at the helm until his death in 2008. His sons Emmanuel and Patrice carry on his legacy.

Organic farming was established in 1954 with the estate receiving certification in 1991. Specific terroirs from the villages of Cruzille, Grévilly, and Chardonnay are highlighted, showcasing the diversity in climate and nature that this region has to offer.

These wines are some of the best in the Mâcon and easily stand toe-to-toe qualitatively with their neighbors to the north.

"The domain’s wines are exported to over 20 countries worldwide and can be found in a large number of gourmet restaurants and wine shops. In recent years, the weather conditions have often lead to lower yields than planned, causing financial and commercial problems. In order to find a solution to this situation, we set up the négociant house, Maison Guillot-Broux, in 2014.

"All the winegrowers we work with are either certified organic or converting to organic agriculture. To guarantee the quality of the wines, we select each individual vineyard we harvest.

"In addition, to make sure that we will produce the kind of wine we like to make, we harvest the grapes ourselves and vinify at our domaine, using the same methods we use for the domaine’s wines, i.e. no added yeast and minimum use of sulphites."
