Guillemot’s Serpentières is the ultimate “comfort wine.” There is something timeless, traditional, and reassuring each time a bottle is opened. Whatever is missing in flash and dazzle is made up for in understated elegance. This light, perfumed subtlety defined Savigny-les-Beaune’s reputation long ago, a style and tradition that remains in sure hands with the Guillemot family. The 2022 is on a course to greatness, a classic vintage that’s tart, earthy and generous; it’s beaming with pleasure and would be well worth cellaring, too.
