"A life in wine was inevitable for Domaine Gueguen’s two storied principals. Céline Brocard hails from generations of wine-growing women. Her mother, Claudine Petit, inherited vines in the commune of Saint-Bris le Vineux from her mother, which in turn had come from her grandmother in 1882. Frédéric is also from Chablis stock, being related to both the Goulley and Durup families. The pair worked together with Céline’s father at his family estate, Jean-Marc Brocard, as vignerons and winemakers for 13 years. The majority of the fruit is estate-grown, and while Domaine Gueguen is not yet certified, there have been no herbicides or pesticides sprayed since 2015 and their organic certification is due this year. The vineyards also benefit from the Highest Environmental Value Certificate (HEV) based on conservation, plant protection strategy and management of fertiliser and water. Their family history, respect for their terroir and highly ethical approach always result in highly drinkable and consistently well-priced white Burgundy." Importer Notes
"Outstanding. This could be from nowhere else but Chablis with its nose of algae, iodine and shrimp shell along with ample citrus and white pepper nuances. There is terrific punch to the relatively refined middleweight flavors that deliver very solid length as well as slightly better depth on the moderately dry finale. Lovely." 90-93 Points Allen Meadows, Burghound
