With the enviable geographical position of Aux Brulees being sandwiched between Echezeaux, Suchots & Richebourg, Aux Brulees often possesses Grand Cru quality. Jean-Pierre Guyon has bragging rights that his vineyard parcels are all old vines, often 60-80+ years old. The wines boast extraordinary concentration and for those burgundy drinkers who are always searching out lesser known producers that are making great wine at reasonable prices, Domaine Guyon is definitely on the radar. Ron van Vlaardingen – Burgundy Buyer
Guyon's 2016 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Aux Brûlées is showing brilliantly from bottle, unwinding in the glass with a complex bouquet of rose petal, dark wild berries, cinnamon and dark chocolate that's complemented by carnal nuances of grilled game bird and smoked meats. On the palate, the wine is medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, with a sapid core of fruit, bright acids and powdery structuring tannins, capturing the inherently gourmand qualities of Aux Brûlées in a less dramatic register than that occupied by the sunnier 2015 and 2017 vintages chez Guyon. While the real fireworks—aromatic and textural—will come with some bottle age, it's already very impressive. William Kelley – The Wine Advocate
