1975 is a special year for both Céline, Frédéric as it is their birth year. The vines used in this cuvée where planted the same year by Céline's father, Jean-Marc Brocard. As you may appreciate it is a wine close to the hearts of its makers.
Following the fresh and mineral style of all Famille Gueguen wines, this offers great complexity. In the glass it shows a brilliant yellow colour. The nose is fine and fruity, reminiscent of pears, citrus, with just a subtle note of almond. The palate is clean and mineral with a beautiful length.
Pair this with monkfish, or salmon with a sorrel sauce.
Burgundy (or Bourgogne in French) is small in size, the Côte d'Or has about 8000 hectares under vine, yet its influence is immense. It is home to some of the best known and most expensive wines in the world. Look in the right places and there is great quality and superb value to be found.
The two major grapes are Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, though you can find small pockets of well-made Aligoté.
One of the world’s most popular grapes, Chardonnay is made in a wide range of styles from lean, sparkling Blanc de Blancs to rich, creamy white wines aged in oak.
Depending on how ripe the grapes get, the flavour ranges from crisp, clean citrus and green apple, to ripe peaches and tropical fruit. Notable Chardonnays can be found in France, California, Australia, England, and beyond.
The family is based in Chablis between the Auxerrois and Chablis vineyards. The estate is made up of 36 hectares of vines in the villages of Chablis, Chichée, la Chapelle Vaupelteigne, Saint-Bris and Irancy.
Céline has a long heritage in the Chablis region. Winegrowers since the 16th century, her family has been working vineyards and mills around the city of Auxerre ever since.
