Domaine Pierre Guillemot's 2017 Savigny-lès-Beaune shows the region's signature bright fruit and savory character, built on the old Burgundian tradition of balance and restraint. This is rustic Pinot Noir done right. Fine-boned, unpretentious, and a reminder that Burgundy's real magic isn't in the markup.
Winemaker Notes
Guillemot’s wines are rustic, fine, and firmly rooted in the old tradition of Burgundian winemaking, which produces balanced wines that showcase the bright fruit and savory character of Savigny-lès-Beaune. This bottling is sure to convince any Pinot Noir drinker that there’s something special about Burgundy.
About the Producer
Kermit
says he has several great memories of visiting with the Guillemots, and his
favorite happened about fifteen years ago when Robert Parker asked us to
arrange a big tasting of our Burgundy selections. It took place in the cellar
below our Beaune office, and Mr. Parker approved Kermit’s suggestion that we
invite the winemakers to the tasting. The place was packed and there were over
two hundred red and white Burgundies to taste. Pierre Guillemot was there with
his big belly and bristly moustache.
