Clos des Vignes du Maynes

🍷 Clos des Vignes du Maynes: A Thousand Years of Living Wine in Burgundy

Located in Cruzille, in the Mâconnais region of Burgundy, Clos des Vignes du Maynes was founded in 910 by the monks of Cluny Abbey. It has never been treated with chemicals and has been farmed organically since 1954 and biodynamically (Demeter certified) since 1998. Now run by Julien Guillot, third-generation winemaker, the estate embodies a radical, artisanal, and free-spirited approach to wine.
