Unlike most vignerons in Burgundy, Benjamin Guilbert does not come from a winemaking family. After completing oenology studies in Macon, followed by an oenologue diploma in Montpellier, Benjamin pursued a Master of Science at the International Organization of Vine and Wine, which led him to 25 countries in just 11 months.
With a strong commitment to sustainable and organic farming practices, they ensure that their vines remain healthy and robust to produce the highest quality grapes. Their 0.7 hectares of vines in Echalas are meticulously tended, with work done by hand and with horse-drawn plows. This dedication led to the creation of their first cuvée of Savigny “échalas” in 2022, alongside Aligoté and Savigny 1er Cru Les Rouvrettes. Domaine Guilbert Gillet firmly believes that each vineyard plot is unique and deserves individual attention. As a result, they approach each of their 12 plots differently, tailoring their methods to the specific growth and terroir of each one to produce wines that are truly exceptional and one-of-a-kind.
