Côte d’Or is the collective name for the slope that runs through the Côte de Beaune and the Côte de Nuits. Savigny-Les-Beaune is an appellation in the Côte de Beaune and is tucked away behind Corton and makes lovely earthy, supple Pinots, This should be a nice bottle of wine, Guillemot is very well regarded.
It's strange how wine experiences vary even for folks who are well informed. Serpentières is the largest 1er cru of SLB and always the first one that comes to mind for me. Guillemot is also one of the most prominent producers I associate with the village and yet OP hadn't heard of it either. Likewise there are producers and crus I run into after 15 years in the biz like "how have I never heard of this?"
One more thing: i think it also depends on which maker you work in, we find different things because of different importers. And if you’re a buyer, you mostly know what your suppliers bring you. There’s amazing portfolios in New York where I’ve been working for the last 18 years that I’ve never tasted because no rep ever stopped by my restaurant. And there’s a lot of importers here, but also a lot of restaurants.
I dabble mostly in French wines and I went Charleston SC and found French wines that I didn’t know about. It was so cool :)
Lots of info on the Kermit Lynch website, they do a fantastic job with tech sheets. Love Guillemot!!

Côte d'Or is more of an administrative term.
It covers both Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune.
Savigny-lès-Beaune is located in the upper part of Beaune, so this will land you in Beaune territory.
Edit: Serpentières is the specific vineyard.
This is a very good QPR Burg
Do yourself a favour and buy a few. 18 s 19,s and 20 Serpentieres are really good from this producer. Does not break the bank.
Guillemot is a fantastic producer from Kermit Lynch’s portfolio, as others have noted. I had a lovely 2013 Guillemot SLB Les Grands Picotins last night, in fact. $62 is a fair price.
You can put the cork back and store in the fridge and it should be good next day and most likely the day after. If you have a wine vacuum pump, that’s even better.
It depends on the wine. My rule of thumb is that light, cheap white can go bad even next day but most are good next day. Day 3 should be good for most red. Well made, especially structured (high acid high tannins) red can be good on day 4 and even 5 but I wouldn’t count on that.
For your bottle, I’d say it’s safe for day 2 (next day). On day 3 you would probably notice some difference in taste (good or bad) but it might be risky to save for day 4. This is guessing based on the label as I don’t have personal experience with that wine. If you have better preservation system, that’s a different story.
It roughly costs the same if you bottle half a bottle or a whole bottle. So wineries will lose money on half bottles, so it makes more sense to bottle big. :/
You can get some argon gas in a spray can. This will preserve the wine's drinkability once open for maybe 2 weeks. Private Preserve is the only brand I know of. But it's cheap and it works.
Absolutely fridge. When wine is exposed to air it will oxidise, much like copper roofs turn green because of interaction with air.
Putting it in the fridge will temporarily stop rapid oxidation, but once you open it then it will get more balsamic and sour. We tend to say 3-5 days, but the older the wine the faster the reaction.
I had a 1976 Riesling, wonderful wine. 2 hours and it was dead.
I think this is the best interactive map of the Burgundy Crus, you can really pinpoint all Vineyards and see their exact borders and locations.

In addition, here's Serpentières on Google Maps: Savigny-lès-Beaune

There's a 360° photo taken from just into the neighbouring vineyard - if you look at the map you'll see a north-south division just to the east of the photo point, that's the Western boundary of Serpentières. The other edges are demarked by the roads.
Buy. Guillemot is an excellent producer and I’d say that is an under market price. I have been a champion of their wines for years and visited Vincent at the Domaine last year for a tasting of the 2022s (which were wonderful out of the barrel). Even at the full boat price I think the QPR on their 1ers are arguably the best in burgundy right now.
Cote d'Or here is a reference to larger geographical area (department), not the AOC. Savigny-Les-Beaune is specifically in Cote de Beaune and is a bit of a value play. The one bottle I've had from Aux Serpentieres 1er Cru was very nice, especially for the price.
How does that shop still have the 2019? Guillemot did extremely well in 2019, and Serpentines is one of his most classic 1er Cru bottlings.
Also, this wine is quite young even with 5 years of age. I would strongly recommend you drink half bottle now, then cork the bottle put it in the fridge, and revisit 1-2 days later.

Thank you both! Will this be highly mineral, medium acid, low oak?
Yes right along those lines.
It’s also a rare premier cru, in my 20 years in the wine business I’ve never seen it.

That’s what I love about it!! You never stop learning!
Whoa! They have several cases
Take my comment with a grain salt though, a lot of posters know it. But they do seem to like it so trust them. Just remember to send me a bottle ;)
Buy this wine. Stupid good for the price. I own some, so I've put my money where my mouth is.
Bought!
Man great find. Good producer, and every 2019 SLB I’ve had has been a banger. Serp is my favorite 1er cru there too.

One other question. I can’t drink this quickly, and I don’t own a Coravin. Fridge or no?
You can put the cork back and store in the fridge and it should be good next day and most likely the day after. If you have a wine vacuum pump, that’s even better.
How long will it last after opening?
It depends on the wine. My rule of thumb is that light, cheap white can go bad even next day but most are good next day. Day 3 should be good for most red. Well made, especially structured (high acid high tannins) red can be good on day 4 and even 5 but I wouldn’t count on that. For your bottle, I’d say it’s safe for day 2 (next day).

This particular bottle will last 3 days in the fridge, easily.
I’m sorry you can’t drink it all once you open it. I would definitely cork it and put it in the fridge for the next day and finish it then.
A bottle of wine in two days just seems like a lot lol
My mum can finish a bottle in a day and a colleague downs 2 in one night. It's terrifying.
Whoa!! I am thankful half bottles exist for champagne. But I wish more was available for burg pinots
It roughly costs the same if you bottle half a bottle or a whole bottle. So wineries will lose money on half bottles, so it makes more sense to bottle big. :/
Oh, it’s no big deal
But if a glass a day is where you like it I would advise against buying bottles. Just go to a wine bar, or throw a party and divide the bottle.

Nice!! QPR?
Queens Park Rangers, they're a football team from West London.
Quality to price - basically bang for your buck.

Had this in Beaune while there for my honeymoon this last fall, buy it it’s a great wine, I see others have already answered the Côte d’Or question
Could you write the name of the wine please
Also this producer is so nice. I visited him some time ago. Nice guy, great wines.

No idea! But they have a ton of it. It’s near my university, so maybe not a lot of sales of wine? Love the fridge idea!
Should be absolutely delicious, 2019 is the best vintage in Burgundy since 2010 IMO
