Sat 2 May 2020 – 5 PM (SGT) Julien Guillot Zoom tasting with the prodigy of Clos des Vignes du Maynes

Rebel, Artist, Philosopher, responsible and committed Winemaker, Julien Guillot is a complex character. But, after meeting him, the concept of natural wine has never appeared so clear and precise. — Guillaume Laroche, “Between The Vines” And he’s a darling of the so-called natural wine movement, his wines coveted by Parisian cavistes and East Coast sommeliers alike. They merit all the attention, because Guillot is far from a follower of fashion . . This is an iconic estate in the Mâconnais, and readers shouldn’t hesitate to experience these singular wines for themselves. — William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

One visit to Clos des Vignes du Maynes is all it takes to be in the presence of over a thousand years of viticultural history. The “Clos” itself is an enclosed vineyard that has been continuously planted with vines for 1100 years, with a winemaking heritage dating back to the powerful medieval monks of Cluny. There are no parcels like it: the vineyard has never had any chemicals used on it since the 10th century, nor has the vineyard ever been planted with any modern clone of any grape. Instead it has been replanted over the centuries with the classic selection massale method, which simply takes cuttings from the existing vineyard's best vines. Julien Guillot is the present-day steward of this land, worked by his family since 1954. From the outset, Julien's grandfather Pierre had decided to make wine organically, using no chemicals, herbicides, pesticides or sulphur – resisting the post-war industrialization wave that was sweeping through the agricultural heartlands. Julien’s father, Alain Guillot, later took over the domaine, keeping the same philosophy. Julien himself joined the domaine in 1998, which is when he took the farming practices one step further and introduced the first biodynamic preparations, eventually converting the entire vineyard. (It has been Demeter-certified since 2005.) As far as history goes, Clos des Vignes du Maynes has remained pristine, reliant only on mother nature’s good graces and an ancient savoir faire passed down through generations of steadfast vineyard stewards. Julien Guillot has assumed the mantle of this monumental heritage with passion, precision, and a great deal of conviction. He is a talented vigneron and under his care, the domaine has gained not only natural wine buffs’ attention, but also accolades from wine critics, many of whom were initially skeptical of the natural wine movement. Yes, his are ‘natural wines’ and after tasting them, we could only wish that every natural wine out there could be like them: pure, expressive, and accomplished; delicious, precise and memorable. Indeed, as we went around tasting in the cellars of illustrious domaines in France, when we asked the winemakers which wine they liked to drink, an overwhelming number cited Julien Guillot’s domaine; a superlative feat for this dynamic vigneron. To be acquainted, indeed to have become friends, with this dynamic thinker and prodigious vigneron has been an immense honour, not to mention a tremendous and endless learning experience. We are super stoked that Julien Guillot will be joining us this Saturday 2 May 2020 at 5 P.M. SGT (Singapore time) for a friendly chat and to guide us through a tasting of his special wines via a Zoom session.
