2020 Pierre Guillemot Bourgogne Rouge
All wines stored at 55° and 70% humidity
Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune is often pegged as only light-bodied and perfumed, but longtime producers like Pierre Guillemot quickly prove otherwise. These wines not only have intensity but incredible aging capabilities. The entry-level bottling comes from a parcel spanning the Bourgogne, Savigny, and Chorey appellations.
Tasting Note:
"Notes of sweet red berries, cherries and plums preface the 2020 Bourgogne Pinot Noir, a medium-bodied, lively and charming wine, its succulent core of fruit framed by fine, powdery tannins. Despite its fruit-driven profile, this cuvée's aging potential is actually quite prodigious, based on how vintages such as 1990 are showing today."
