The Guillemot family has worked Savigny-les-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 KLWM 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.

Guillemot always has a candied, elevage character for me. The character overwhelms the body of 2014 at this stage. Maybe time will harmonize. Like the freshness and high-toned character.

Quite austere. Very clean but I’d like a touch more weight, flavor and richness.
