This wine is from Olivier Guyot. He is considered somewhat eccentric by some of his neighbors, as he has sold his tractor and gone back to organically horse farming his vineyards. He feels it is better for the land, and that he gets better fruit from doing so. The grapes are hand-harvested, of course, and the wine is bottled without filtration. The domaine has passed from father to son since the 16th century, and the vines are 35 to 40 years old. Olivier punches the wine down 2 to 4 times per day for 14 days during fermentation to encourage maximum extraction and color. This has supple, ripe tannins, very dark and rich, with lots of density for a Bourgogne. Shows some very ripe fruit and a bit of plumminess. Good finish. (Keith Wollenberg, K&L Burgundy buyer, 10/04)
