2021 Domaine Jean-Marc & Hugues Pavelot Savigny-les-Beaune, Cote de Beaune

The 2021 Domaine Pavelot Savigny-lès-Beaune is a standout expression of Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune, crafted by Jean-Marc and Hugues Pavelot.

Aromatics: Dark cherry and redcurrant lead the fruit profile. Accents of wilted linden, forest mushrooms, dry pine, and rose petals. Subtle spice notes: vanilla, mint, anise, cinnamon, and cloves. A touch of new oak adds polish without overwhelming the terroir

Palate: Bright, sappy fruit with lively acidity. Elegant structure with filigree tannins. Sneaky concentration and depth despite the vintage’s challenges. Earthy and gamey undertones noted in  some bottles, adding savory complexity

Finish: Surprisingly long and persistent. Drink now for freshness and vibrancy, or cellar for 10 – 15 years to unlock deeper tertiary notes and textural evolution.
