From: Burgundy, France
Varietal: Pinot Noir
The Guillemot family has worked Savigny-lès-Beaune vines for eight generations (!) and produces wines with classic Burgundian finesse and balance, all while leaving us a reminder of Savigny’s rustic character. But do not be fooled into thinking that this means they lack aging potential; the Guillemots are very proud of their old wines and thankfully have the foresight to set aside a good supply and follow their wines’ development over the years.
Tasting Notes: The 2015 Domaine Pierre Guillemot Corton Le Rognet et Corton Grand Cru is characterized by an elegant and silky structure. Aromas of strawberry, strawberry and a pinch of pepper swarm the senses, as this perfectly inviting wine can be enjoyed now or held to grow its beguiling qualities.
