Characterized by a light hue, structure balanced by lift, and bright red berries and spice, the Guillemots’ signature style extends throughout the lineup all the way to the Bourgogne rouge. If there were enough of this beauty to go around, I’d enjoy a bottle of it weekly. Not to miss!

The Serpentières is arguably the quintessential Guillemot cuvée, which makes sense because it is the vineyard where they own the most land (4.2 acres is a blessing when it comes to premier cru Burgundy). This generous, seductive rouge has a long life ahead. Open it now or in three decades.

Aromatically, this bottling is still clearly in the Guillemot family, but it is even deeper, more concentrated, and more complex than the Savigny premiers crus. Open now if you would like to taste its youthful magic, but don’t miss the transcendent reward of popping the cork in ten to fifteen years.
