Wine Advocate, 93 Points 

"Aromas of sweet red berries, cherries, rose petals, licorice and spices introduce Guillemot's emblematic 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Serpentières, a medium to full-bodied, supple and seamless wine that's fleshy, concentrated and vibrant, with a layered, complete profile and a long, bright finish. It's a lovely wine that will offer a broad drinking window. The irrepressible Vincent Guillemot had every reason to smile as he showed me his family's 2022 portfolio, a range of wines characterized by purity and generosity of fruit. As readers will remember, this seven-hectare estate is rather classical, the reds fermenting in wooden tanks with temperature control, followed by élevage with modest percentages of new wood. Whole clusters increasingly play a role here. The wines are remarkably consistent, surpassing expectations in challenging years and fully delivering in more propitious vintages." 

Jasper Morris, 90-92 Points 

"Mid purple in colour, lighter than Gravains, but never expect a concentrated colour in Serpentières. The bouquet is deliciously perfumed, strawberries included the alpine version. Good acidity behind with a light bitterness which keeps the tension going. Fine length. Drink from 2027-2035." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"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."
