About this Wine
This is the “baby of the domaine” (Adrien’s favourite), but it drinks like the crown jewel. From 85-year-old vines, a single plot above Chambolle, Adrien Guyon gives this wine the Grand Cru treatment. Horse ploughing, 100% whole bunch, 80% new oak, and nothing but care. It’s floral, smoky and hauntingly silky. Light red fruit dances alongside black cherry, pepper and salinity, with a whisper of spice. You could drink it now and be floored. Or cellar it and be speechless.

Tasting Notes
Worked by hand. Ploughed by horse. A Chambolle single-site wonder with serious soul 🏇
Horse-ploughed. Whole-bunched. Holy smokes...
Les Creux-Baissants might mean “the lower hollows,” but this wine soars. A single, north-facing parcel tucked just above the village, it sits in a cool, rocky depression just five feet below the road, up against the forest. Adrien treats it like sacred ground - worked entirely by hand, ploughed by horse, and fermented with 100% whole bunches. The result is jaw-droppingly elegant: light red fruits, violets, smoke, spice and salinity in a wine that’s airy, detailed and utterly seductive. 80% new oak (lightly toasted for just 15 minutes) adds polish, never weight. Adrien calls it his favourite. We get why.

The Plot
This is a single parcel cuvée from one of the most unique terroirs in Chambolle. ‘Les Creux-Baissants’ is a small, rocky, clay-limestone vineyard that sits in a natural hollow above the village. Facing north and pressed up against the woods, it stays cooler, giving the wine its delicate aromatics and beautiful lift. The vines are 85 years old and still worked exclusively by hand, with a horse used for ploughing due to the slope and soil. Adrien’s connection to this site runs deep, and it shows in every sip.
Technical Details
100% Pinot Noir from the single-site ‘Les Creux-Baissants’ in Chambolle-Musigny. 85-year-old vines on clay-limestone, rocky soils. 100% whole bunch fermentation. Aged in French oak barrels (80% new, light toast for 15 mins). Bottled unfined and unfiltered.

The care and precision Adrien puts into this tiny parcel is remarkable and the result is absolutely mind-blowing. He’s just 23, and this is his first vintage, yet the wine has the confidence and character of someone twice his age. It bursts with blackcurrant and cherry, with violets and floral lift on the nose and a savoury flicker of smoked meat running underneath. We’ll be keeping a few cases of this for ourselves! It’s already stunning to drink now, but the potential here is incredible. This could easily become a future collector’s favourite.

Verified Trustpilot ReviewFAQs
Clear details, so you can buy with confidence
Is this wine ready to drink now?
Yes. This is ready to drink now, but a little patience could make it even more rewarding. Open one soon, then tuck another away if you want to watch it develop.
Should I buy one bottle or a few?
One to try, three if you want to follow it over time, six if you already know the producer or style. Burgundy moves quickly, and small parcels rarely hang around for long.

Use our live chat, or pop us an email. We specialise in Burgundy and are always happy to help. Our tasting notes are based on wines tasted by our founders and updated regularly, so you can buy with proper confidence.
How quickly will it arrive?
Fast. We ship every wine on a next-working-day service and dispatch Monday to Friday. At checkout, you can even choose a delivery day that suits you.
How is it packed?
Each bottle is wrapped in tissue before being carefully placed into our specially imported Italian boxes, tested to rigorous standards. We have literally dropped them from the first storey of our house. All our packaging is paper-based and recyclable.
Can I send it as a gift?
Absolutely. As standard, our wines arrive wrapped in bespoke tissue paper. At checkout, you can also add gift bags, gift boxes and notes.
