Most collectors of fine Burgundy evidently zoom along the D974 right past Savigny-lès-Beaune to get to the grand cru villages, because if they gave this small commune just north of Beaune its proper due, prices for Guillemot’s stellar Pinot Noirs would be significantly higher. Brothers Vincent and Philippe Guillemot, together with their father Jean-Pierre, do bottle one grand cru in Corton, but the family’s bread and butter is Savigny-lès-Beaune, where they have tended vines for eight generations. Along with the Corton, they vinify four Savigny premiers crus, a few village wines, and finally a top-notch Bourgogne rouge. Bearing Guillemot’s distinctive woodsy, spicy notes that encircle an elegant red-fruit core, these reds accomplish the elusive feat of being both charming in their youth and stunning with some age.
