"...aromas of cherries, berries and plums with hints of woodsmoke and coniferous forest floor. Medium to full-bodied, deep and sapid, with lively acids"

| "It was with sadness that I learned of Pierre Guillemot's passing, at the age of 93, while this report was going to press. Having enjoyed Pierre's inaugural vintage of Serpentières, the striking 1947, on a number of occasions, it is evident that he hit the ground running as a formidable winemaker . . . . The wines are remarkably consistent, surpassing expectations in challenging years and fully delivering in more propitious vintages. The 2018s, revisited here in bottle, have fulfilled the promise they showed from barrel, and the 2019s are even more vibrant and charming. So, it bears repeating that readers bemoaning the lack of fine, affordable Burgundy from the Côte d'Or should beat a path to the Guillemot family's door."

They want to make this Corton as dense as they can first up and then wait, so they give it 50% whole bunches and punch down morning and night. Excellent fresh red purple. There is indeed huge power to this . . . . The flavours are on the cusp of red and black fruit with quite fierce acidity behind. This is a densely structured wine for sure and I think the Guillemots have achieved what they set out to do."
