Domaine Antonin Guyon
Established in Savigny-lès-Beaune, Domaine Antonin Guyon is a 48-hectare family estate spread across 25 appellations in the Côte d’Or. Its vineyards stretch from Gevrey-Chambertin and Chambolle-Musigny down to Meursault, with a significant presence in Premiers and Grands Crus, particularly on the hill of Corton. Hombeline Guyon is gradually taking over the management in the continuity of her father Dominique.

Histoire du domaine
Antonin Guyon built up the estate starting in the 1960s, when he was 55 years old, by acquiring over a decade parcels located between Gevrey-Chambertin and Meursault. In 1970, his son Dominique Guyon completed this ensemble by bringing together around 350 parcels belonging to nearly 80 owners in Meuilley, in the Hautes-Côtes de Nuits. This operation formed a 22-hectare single-block vineyard with a southern exposure. Dominique Guyon then took over the management of the estate and became directly involved in winemaking. His daughter Hombeline, having returned to Burgundy after several professional experiences abroad, joined the estate in 2014 and is gradually taking over the reins. She has steered winemaking towards more measured extractions and a less systematic use of new oak. Vincent Nicot, cellarmaster and vineyard manager since his arrival in 1996, carried out his final harvest at the estate in 2024 before retiring in 2025; his successor for this role has not been publicly identified with certainty.
Corton Charlemagne (Aloxe Corton)
Corton-Charlemagne is a white Grand Cru appellation whose demarcated parcel area occupies the upper part of the montagne de Corton, across Aloxe-Corton, Pernand-Vergelesses and Ladoix-Serrigny. In Aloxe-Corton, its geographical core corresponds to the climat Le Charlemagne; the appellation also unites En Charlemagne and several neighboring climats. The vineyard is located between 280 and 330 meters, on steep slopes of 20 to 23%, with a predominantly southwest exposure at the appellation scale. The clay-rich marly soils rest on an alternation of limestone beds and marls, beneath a thin layer of rendzinas.

Histoire de la parcelle
A vineyard on the montagne de Corton was given in 775 by Charlemagne to the collegiate church of Saint-Andoche de Saulieu and remained part of its estate for approximately a millennium. The Corton-Charlemagne appellation was recognized by the decree of July 31, 1937. Its current parcel area is based on a delimitation approved by the INAO on September 20, 1984.
