Domaine Pavelot - Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru 'La Dominode' 2023 (Magnum)

For several generations, Domaine Jean-Marc and Hugues Pavelot, located in Savigny-les-Beaune (Côte de Beaune, Burgundy), has been passed down from father to son, thus guaranteeing the know-how that made its reputation.

Today, the property extends over 13 hectares, mainly in the town of Savigny-les-Beaune but also in that of Beaune and Aloxe-Corton.

Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru 'La Dominode' terroir is facing south and the soil, marly and deep, is embellished with a few angular pebbles. The name "Serpentières" most certainly originated from the once numerous presence of snakes attracted by the vicinity of a few springs. Age of the vines is 60+ years and wines are aged for 12 months in barrels (25% new).

"The 2023 Savigny-lès-Beaune La Dominode 1er Cru showed a small reduction on the nose: blackberry, briar and light white pepper scents unfold in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins. It's perhaps the most peppery of the Savigny cuvées, although the Gravins has more precision on the finish. Drink: 2026-2036. (Jan 2025)" - 90-92 Points, Vinous

"A defiant black purple, this wine is so intense in all compartments. Then surprisingly racy on the palate just when I ws expecting an overload of black fruit. In fact, this is much redder in profile, fresh cherry and raspberry, underpinned by a crystalline limestone notion. Very persistent. (Dec 2024)" - 91-94 Points, Jasper Morris MW, Inside Burgundy
