A lifelong wine lover, Philippe Guyonnet took the plunge in 2021 by purchasing 9 hectares in Vouvray, on the advice of his friend and mentor Jacky Blot (La Taille aux Loups). With his attention to detail, he immediately opted for organic viticulture, manual harvesting and fermentation with indigenous yeasts in small containers (amphorae and barrels) . From his time in the Mâconnais region, he retains a taste for long ageing (18 to 30 months), which he finishes with bottling without fining or filtration. His Chenin wines, vinified exclusively as dry wines, have a beautiful aromatic richness (chamomile, white peach, vanilla, etc.) and a richness that is perfectly balanced by a lively acidity. 2022 is his first vintage, and already a masterstroke. Everything is in place for this estate to quickly make a name for itself.

Made from vines aged 50 years and older, grown on flinty clay soil, Inspirations (aged for 18 months) is characterised by its finesse and liveliness.
