Very much in the natural camp. The wine pours golden. There is visible sediment. Citrus aromas. Slight tingle on the tongue (effervescent). Plenty of citrus (lemons) and some stony minerality in the mouth. A little salt in the finish. Crisp. Refreshing. Not the most complex. An easy wine for a warm afternoon.

This is quite different than the previous vintage.
Pours purplish garnet. Decanted for an hour. On open big expressive nose. Florals and brambles and a touch of earth. Tiny Brett note on open.
In the mouth, fresh with raspberries and blackberries and a touch of sour cherry. Some minerality - iron. Some earth. There is a lot of bright acidity and some velvet tannins. Medium body.
Finish has some assertive bitterness on top of minerality.
This seems to be a much more persistent and likely complex Guillot than the 2020.I think this is also going to age much better. That said it also needs some more age for things to come into balance.

Quick note. Straw yellow. Expressive sweet floral citrus nose. Touch of sweetness followed by crisp acidity and salty minerality in the mouth.
Very nice effort with lovely complexity and freshness.
