Domaine Guilbert-Gillet Acquires Domaine Clos de la Chapelle…
I heard it from 3 sources this week, but now I have it from the horse’s mouth, so:
“Yes, Domaine Clos de la Chapelle has been sold to Domaine Guilbert-Gillet.
He will take over the domaine for the 2026 harvest and beyond and will make wines from those vintages under his own name.
The 2024, 2025 and back stocks will continue to be marketed by us.
We are very happy with this transition and believe that Benjamin is the right person to take over and continue to enhance the quality of the wines from these beautiful appellations.”

There is one response to “Clos de la Chapelle, sold…”
Hi Bill
I see the Wine Spectator claims the 1er Clos de la Chapelle vineyard will not be entirely sold with the rest of the Domaine but will be jointly owned by Marc/Pierre and Benjamin Guilbert/Rene Gillet, any thoughts or news on that?

Hi Phil,
Yes, I heard that before seeing the WS article. I suppose that, for as long as you (comfortably) live, why would you ever sell (100%) of a Volnay 1er cru monopoly 🙂 (?)
