Notes from Kermit Lynch:

"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. Guillemot is one of the quintessential producers, with wines that epitomize the local terroir and emphasize grace and elegance over power and structure. 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. We challenge anyone to find a better deal on Burgundies that are built to last like these!

Soil
Estate vines were planted by winemaker Etienne Delarche’s father in ‘Renardes,’ part of the larger Corton grand cru vineyard. Facing southeast, vines sit at 900 feet in altitude; the slope’s stony soils mix brown limestone and iron-rich marl
Winemaking
Fermentation lasts for 15 to 16 days; wine is fermented in wooden cuves. Regular punchdowns during the entire fermentation (2-3 times a day); aged in barrel (10% new for premier cru and grand cru) for 18 months, additional aging in bottle for 6 months before release.
