The Premier Cru les Serpentières is located a stone's throw from Savigny-lès-Beaune , on the south-facing slope of the valley which moves away from the Corton hill. The gently sloping terroir, facing south, limestone and very stony, is a setting for Pinot Noir .
The latter, here aged 30 years in 2010, occupies a plot of 71 acres which gives birth to a confidential vintage as is often the case in Burgundy . After manual harvesting, vinification is traditional, with temperature regulation and aging in oak barrels.
The result is an elegant Premier Cru from Domaine Javillier , rich in red and black fruits, full of roundness and with very present tannins . It is a wine designed to keep for 6 or 7 years and to be served with dishes with fine sauces.
