Jean Tardy

Guillaume is one of those young, single-minded winemakers that pursue a particular style of winemaking, crafting what you might call “modern” red Côte de Nuits that are pure and rich, silky smooth in texture, Pinot that glides across the palate. There is a purity that often reminds me of Christophe Perrot-Minot’s wines, the tannins always smooth and the fruit extremely pure. NEAL MARTIN

Domaine Jean Tardy is now recognised as one of the leading producers in the Côte d'Or today. JASPER MORRIS MW

Guillaume is one of those young producers who has taken the reigns of a domaine with good holdings and taken it forward in leaps and bounds. Today he is widely regarded as one of the best young producers in the region. His wines are entirely destemmed and often exhibit wonderfully vibrant, sensuous and enticing fruit that would leave many thinking that perhaps they do not have the structure to age, they do but that structure is derived from meticulous attention to extraction and elevage. The resulting wines can be wonderfully approachable and the seriousness of them can be hiding deep within the core of their ebullient natures. ROSCOE
