WTN: Guillotine

[David M. Bueker]

• 2019 Domaine Bernard Baudry Chinon Le Clos Guillot - France, Loire Valley, Touraine, Chinon (8/29/2023)
  Sorry, but even with 24 hours of air this is not the time to drink this wine. It’s blocky and largely impenetrable. There are hints of good things to come, but there are just glimpses of herbal, earthy or tobacco notes that are quickly sucked behind the event horizon of the wine, never to be seen again. Cellar this rather than waste it.

Thanks for the note - I have the 2017 Les Granges and have been wondering when to try one. Looks like the answer may be 'not yet'

Les Granges is not the structured wine like Guillot.

Yes, Granges is the youngest vines, usually assume it is first to drink, followed by the "domaine", then Grezeaux/Guillot/Boissee.
Have some 19 Guillot, will hold off, thanks
