Who is Michel Gay et Fils?

Michel Gay et Fils is a small, family-run estate based in Beaune, Burgundy. Over the years, Michel Gay’s sons, particularly Sébastien Gay, have taken over winemaking, modernizing the approach while staying true to classic Burgundian traditions.

What Makes Their Wines Special?

• Old-Vine Focus: The domaine owns parcels of Vieilles Vignes (old vines), which produce wines with more concentration and depth.
• Hand-Harvesting & Careful Vinification: The wines are made with minimal intervention, using whole-cluster fermentation in some cases and carefully managed oak aging.
• Balance of Structure & Elegance: They produce classic, terroir-driven Burgundy that balances fruit purity with structure and minerality.

There are no 1er or Grand Crus in Chorey-lès- Beaune, making this classic area one of the best value villages in the Côte de Beaune. The wines of Michel Gay are considered among the best. Crisp with ripe summer cherries, just enough forest herbs for a healthy dose of earth, and beautiful balance of warm spicy notes with cool fruity tones. A clear-cut Pinot Noir for a classic dinner of Roast Chicken or Rabbit with mushrooms.
