Jean-Marc Pavelot Savigny-lès-Beaune, 2019

This is a superb offering from this great Domaine – considered by most critics to be the best producer in Savigny-lès-Beaune. These 2019 vintage releases offer considerable bang-for-your-buck - which is not something you could say very often about wines from the haloed slopes of Burgundy.

The Pavelots have been cultivating vines in Savigny-lès-Beaune just before the French revolution and have made some of the best wines in the village since. The domaine’s flagship, La Dominode, is powerfully structured wine from the south hill of Savigny. This wine aside, the Pavelots make traditionally pure and classic Burgundy. Their large range of vineyards have produced lacy, delicate and well priced Burgundy one usually associates with Savigny, like Serpentières and Peuillets, as well as hugely structured, gravelly, and age-worthy monuments like Gravains, Guettes and Dominode. If you have interest in wines that taste of history and tradition, this is a must taste estate for you.

"Pavelot has been one of my go-to names in Savigny-lès-Beaune for several years now. They have consistently produced excellent Savignys despite the misfortune that the appellation has suffered in recent years. If you want to see what Savigny can do...you know where to look. Here."
