Domaine Pierre Guillemot - Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune 'Le Mont et Forêt' 2023

Domaine Pierre Guillemot is rooted in Savigny-lès-Beaune, where the family has worked in wine for generations. The modern estate took shape in 1946, when Pierre Guillemot, with his sister’s help, reassembled the family domaine. Pierre chose to concentrate on vineyard ownership and winegrowing, gradually acquiring parcels that established the estate’s enduring connection to Savigny’s hillside vineyards. His son Jean-Pierre succeeded him in 1988.

Today, Pierre’s grandsons Vincent and Philippe Guillemot carry the domaine forward, with Vincent overseeing winemaking and Philippe managing the vineyards. Based in the heart of the village, the family cultivates approximately ten hectares, principally in Savigny-lès-Beaune, with additional holdings around the hill of Corton. The domaine has also maintained a longstanding relationship with American importer Kermit Lynch, who first visited Pierre in 1985. 

Savigny remains the estate’s foundation. Its holdings include four Premier Cru vineyards—Aux Serpentières, Les Narbantons, Les Jarrons, and Aux Gravains—alongside village parcels and Corton Le Rognet et Corton Grand Cru. Aux Serpentières is particularly important, representing a substantial part of the family’s vineyards and producing wines admired for their perfume, depth, and longevity.

"Bursting with aromas of lime zest, citrus blossom and confit orange, the 2023 Bourgogne Hautes-Côtes de Beaune Blanc is medium-bodied, satiny and saline." - 87 Points, Robert Parker's WIne Advocate
