The boutique winery is located in Viré-Clessé, one of the Maconnais cru in the southernmost part of Burgundy. For years, Maconnais was a reliable source of "painless" Chardonnay with a ripe fruity character that could ripen more easily than Coté and "grew up" generations before the advent of new world competition. But in the hands of the region's most capable producers, the wines can be a "counterpoint" to Coté wines. The Guillemot-Michel winery stands out among a sea of "uninspired" producers with excellent "raw material" in their hands, biodynamic farming in the vineyard since the 90s and low interventions in the winery. "Back to Earth" comes from a piece of the "Champ-Rond" vineyard with 65 year old vines and it is this piece with which the harvest is completed. The result is elegant aromas of white peach, apricot and a palate that gradually builds on power and complexity. Maturity and balance at the same time.
"Champ-Rond" is the largest vineyard plot of the winery (25 acres) which runs along a gentle slope from the forest at the top to the base of the slope and the fence built by Pierrette and Marc. The soils are the classic limestone soils of the region although there are variations from piece to piece of the vineyard. 'Retour à la Terre' comes from a section full of clay that retains water, with very old vines planted on an old rootstock with low 'vigour' giving very low yields per hectare. The wine is vinified in 800l amphorae and is a wine which, depending on the year, has the ripeness and rich character of the region but with energy, tensions and "chiselled" proportions.
