Guillaume Gilles

Guillaume Gilles makes wine in Cornas in the northern Rhône, drawing on experience with Robert Michel and Jean-Louis Chave. His work follows the area’s traditional approach, with careful vineyard farming and minimal intervention in the cellar.

Red wines ferment with whole bunches and native yeasts, then mature in older barrels and demi-muids. Bottling is without fining or filtration. His Cornas from Chaillot expresses this patient approach to Syrah and the steep vineyards that shape it.
