“The 2020 Savigny-lès-Beaune Blanc has a pretty bouquet with honeysuckle and light white flower aromas, well defined with touches of tangerine in the background. The palate is well balanced, the 20% new oak nicely integrated with a touch of almond and white chocolate on the appealing finish. This is another delicious '20 from Pavelot.”
