Domaine Gueguen

Domaine Gueguen

Burgundy , France

The family is based in Chablis. Between the Auxerrois and Chablisien vineyards, the estate of Céline and Frédéric Gueguen is made up of 36 hectares of vines in the villages of Chablis, Chichée, la Chapelle Vaupelteigne, Saint-Bris and Irancy.

Céline comes from a family of wine-growers, originally from Saint Bris & Chablis After working for her father Jean-Marc Brocard on his estate for 13 years, Céline & Frederic decided in 2013 to go it alone and create their own wines. The style of Céline and Frédéric Gueguen wines is deliberately modern with a permanent commitment to respect and expression of the terroir's identity. One of the main goals is to preserve their soil, which is why they use neither chemical fertilizers nor herbicides. Vintages from 2015 onward have been made using exclusively organic processes and the Domaine began its conversion to organic farming with its 2019 vintage.

Céline & Frederic now own 25 ha and grow 5 different grapes: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon, Aligoté, Sacy.The average vine on the estate is 35 years old and yield only 40hL/ha. All the wines are vinified with indigenous yeasts.
