TRiO Winemaker Dinner Series: Numa Cornut of Chateau Guiot

Join us when Numa Cornut of Chateau Guiot visits us March 31 for our TRiO Winemaker Dinner Series. This series provides the chance to meet and learn from winemakers from around the corner and around the world. Each event will feature a tasting of 5-7 wines presented by the winemakers themselves and accompanied by a casual family style dinner.

Chateau Guiot is located on the rolling slopes of southern Costières de Nîmes, near the village of Saint Gilles and the famous Camargue section of the Mediterranean. The vineyards are planted primarily to Grenache, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon. The soils here are mostly ancient riverbed soils similar to Chateauneuf du Pape. Today the estate has 90 hectares in production. The Chateau or Mas is owned by Silvia Cornut and is managed by her twin sons Numa and Alexis, representing the 9th generation of vigneron in the Cornut family. The wines made here have become reference points for the appellation over the last 20 years. Chateau Guiot is committed to sustainable farming, replacing the use of synthetic herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers with organic treatments. In 2000, the Cornuts completely renovated the winery and cellars to better accommodate separate vinifications both by grape varietal and vineyard parcel. The winery is filled with modern, temperature-controlled cement and stainless steel tanks. As we transition into the primary label of the estate, Chateau Guiot, some cuvees may also be available labelled as Chateau Cornut.
