After nearly two decades of silence, Modot-Guyon & Fils roared back to life with a single gunshot fired by Adrien Guyon to mark the Chambolle-Musigny based domaine’s rebirth, it echoed through the vines like a signal: the family legacy was alive again.
The estate dates back to the early 1800s, but production abruptly stopped in 2004 following a family tragedy. The vines were leased out, the cellar fell silent, and for years, the name faded. Until now.
In 2023, Adrien took back the reins and launched with a serious debut lineup: seven cuvées from Coteaux Bourguignons to Chambolle-Musigny Premier Cru Les Fuées, all from old vines and made with minimal intervention. These are not side projects. These are the flagships: unfined, unfiltered, and full of intent.

From the taut, 60-year-old-vine Aligoté, to the layered, 100% whole-cluster “Les Creux Baissants” Chambolle-Musigny, Adrien’s style is clear: no shortcuts, no gloss, just purity and place. The vines are old (some pre-World War II), the cellar work is precise, and nothing gets in the way of the fruit.
From the decision to reclaim the family vineyards to the first wines back in bottle.
The story behind the comeback
This is small-scale Burgundy with serious pedigree. Adrien’s focus is on authenticity, finesse, and letting the terroir speak. Old vines, minimal handling, and gentle élevage define the style. A light touch in the vineyard, entirely horse-ploughed in some plots.
The wines are unfined, unfiltered, and expressive, crafted with intuition and respect. No flashy tech or heavy-handed winemaking.
Despite being only one vintage in, the domaine’s direction is clear: purity, precision, and deep roots in the land.
Domaine Modot-Guyon will be reclaiming even more of his family land, including two Premier Cru plots in ‘Les Lavrottes’ and ‘Les Charmes’, plus a Chambolle-Musigny Vieilles Vignes cuvée. The domaine may be just 4.5 hectares today, but the ambition, and the energy is unmistakable.
Why we’re excited
Domaine Modot-Guyon et Fils is not just a comeback story, it’s the emergence of a serious new voice in Burgundy. Adrien’s wines show restraint, soul, and a quiet confidence that we love. They feel like wines made for the long term, yet they already drink with real pleasure.
For Burgundy drinkers who value character over hype, and for collectors who want to say “I was there from the beginning”, this domaine is well worth discovering.
