2014 Savigny Aux Serpentières 1er Cru
Domaine Pierre GuillemotThe Guillemot family is a staple of Savigny-le?s-Beaune: in the heart of this tiny Burgundian village, eight consecutive generations have made their living by working the surrounding hillside vineyards! Kermit’s first visit to the domaine in 1985 introduced him to the characterful, mustachioed Pierre Guillemot; today, Pierre’s grandsons Vincent and Philippe carry on the tradition. The bulk of the Guillemot holdings lies in the Serpentie?res vineyard, the source of Savigny’s most complex, long-lived, and beguilingly aromatic wines. This 2014 represents a classic vintage for red Burgundies, full of elegance and floral charm. As usual, Serpentie?res offers a deep, sweet, seductive perfume of wild raspberry and clove, with a bright acidity and sappy viscosity that seem to characterize all the domaine’s cuve?es. Delicious yet tightly wound, this fine Pinot will live many, many years. –Anthony Lynch

Domaine Pierre Guillemot
About The Region
Burgundy
In eastern central France, Burgundy is nestled between the wine regions of Champagne to the north, the Jura to the east, the Loire to the west, and the Rhône to the south. This is the terroir par excellence for producing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The southeast-facing hillside between Dijon in the north and Maranges in the south is known as the Côte d’Or or “golden slope.” The Côte d’Or comprises two main sections, both composed of limestone and clay soils: the Côte de Nuits in the northern sector, and the Côte de Beaune in the south. Both areas produce magnificent whites and reds, although the Côte de Beaune produces more white wine and the Côte de Nuits more red.
Chablis is Burgundy’s northern outpost, known for its flinty and age-worthy Chardonnays planted in Kimmeridgian limestone on an ancient seabed. Vézelay is a smaller area south of Chablis with similar qualities, although the limestone there is not Kimmeridgian.
To the south of the Côte de Beaune, the Côte Chalonnaise extends from Chagny on its northern end, down past Chalon-sur-Saône and encompasses the appellations of Bouzeron in the north, followed by Rully, Mercurey, Givry, and Montagny.
Directly south of the Chalonnaise begins the Côte Mâconnais, which extends south past Mâcon to the hamlets of Fuissé, Vinzelles, Chaintré, and Saint-Véran. The Mâconnais is prime Chardonnay country and contains an incredible diversity of soils.
