About the Producer Guillaume Gilles
Humility. A word that accurately sums up Guillaume Gilles, a rising star of the northern Rhône. This young winemaker made his debut amid some of the biggest names in the region such as Jean-Louis Chave and Robert Michel. He started his winemaking adventure in 2002 when he inherited half a hectare in Cornas from his grandfather. Truly passionate about his terroir, Guillaume's work both in the vineyard and the cave is a labour of love that produces wines with depth, power and finesse. Micro-parcel vinifications have become somewhat of a trademark of his and his Les Chaillots terroir is divided up into three separate vinifications: La Combe, Les Terrasses and Les Grands Murs. Sustainable agriculture, hand worked vines and tilled soil ensure high quality grapes. This is a domaine we urge you to discover but be warned that production is small.
