Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
"A brooding and reluctant nose is comprised by notes of fresh dark berries, especially black raspberry, along with touch of forest floor, earth and leather. The rich, concentrated and powerful big-bodied flavors coat the palate before culminating in a youthfully austere, serious and built-to-age finale. This needs to develop better depth but everything appears to be in place for that to occur." Drink: 2031+ Outstanding ♥Burghound
Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
"As it usually is, this is at once more elegant and a bit more aromatically complex with its agreeably spicy mix of red and dark cherry, warm earth and floral top note. Here too there is excellent volume to the delicious medium weight flavors that possess both fine verve and minerality, both of which carry over to the balanced and beautifully persistent finale. This isn't as powerful as the Corton but it's notably finer. A qualitative choice." Drink: 2034+ Sweet spotAllen Meadows, Burghound
Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
Fascinating comparison with the Pavelot Dominode 18. There’s a similarity with the fleshy generous fruit and shape to the fruit. The Tollot Beaut goes for a slightly softer mouthfeel with very silky tannins. Like many 2018’s rich mouth filling fruit is at play, a darkness underlying. I’m going to be fascinated to see the Leroux, Pavelot & Tollot-Beaut Savignys evolve over time. As this opens in the glass the air induces refinement and elegance. Delicious wine that in a blind tasting I'
Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
Again a fascinating difference. When you head to Aloxe-Corton, there is some barely noticeable wood here. It’s doing a superb job adding focus and definition to the wine. This is such a deceptive wine. Wicked depth and length have been tamed to offer a balanced complete wine. Combining the appellation and the generous year gives this ripe yet still fresh flavours. Red fruits, with an earthiness, and a little baking spice. I get the impression that given time this will become something quite sp
Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
"A brooding nose only reluctantly reveals its extremely fresh notes of plum, cassis, violets and pungent earth. There is a bit more volume to the powerful, concentrated and serious big-bodied flavors that evidence a lovely minerality on the mouth coating, firmly structured and strikingly long and beautifully well-balanced finish. This bad boy of a Bressandes is a knockout but one that is clearly going to require extended cellaring to soften what are presently resolute tannins." Drink: 2035+ Don'
Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
Fascinating tasting this with Burghound’s note and next to a 2020 Guillard ‘Reniard’ from Gevrey-Chambertin. The villages of Savigny-lès-Beaune and Chorey-lès-Beaune tend to show the sunshine a little more compared to those both further south and north. Dark and clearly ripe, Pavelot has maintained energy and vitality. The tannins build to a crescendo along the palate balancing the richness with a fine acid. The shape and flow are generous, yet linear with that quality tannin and persist

Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
Pavelot's Top wine rates as one of the few remaining bargains in Burgundy! An extremely ripe yet again, still fresh nose offers up its aromas of mocha, poached plum and black cherry jam. The rich, round and quite supple medium-bodied flavors immediately firm up on the youthfully austere, palate coating and lightly mineral infused finale. This firmly structured effort is going to need at least some patience as it's presently quite tightly wound. Drink: 2036+ ♥ OutstandingAllen Meadows, Bur
Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
Notes of oak toast and menthol surround the moderately high-toned aromas of red and dark cherry, plum and warm earth. There is terrific intensity to the vibrant, intense and well-detailed medium weight flavors that also brim with minerality on the even more compact, austere and firmly constituted finale. The quality is excellent though I underscore that this is presently a block of stone and it would be largely pointless to open a bottle before at least 7 to 8 years have passed. Dinrk: 2034+ ♥
Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
Here too there is a mentholated top note present on the more sauvage and forest floor nuanced aromas of red and dark currant. I very much like the sense of underlying tension suffusing the even more mineral-driven middle weight flavors that coat the palate with dry extract that buffers the very firm tannic spine shaping the beautifully long finale. This serious, austere and compact effort is quite tightly wound and a wine that is unlikely to make for especially interesting drinking young; then a

Pavelot's Top wine rates as one of the few remaining bargains in Burgundy! The 2019 is on the edge of the next phase of life, still incredibly youthful, a hint of secondary character is sneaking through. As seems always to be the case with Pavelot's top 1er Cru 'La Dominode' it hold a wonderful balance between ripeness, energy and vitality, subtle well handled oak balancing the sunshine the village of Savigny typically offers.

Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
Pavelot's Top wine rates as one of the few remaining bargains in Burgundy! Delicious. Energy, length & depth, fine even velvety tannins. A little musk, red and darker berry fruits. Nice bit of baking spice, roast beetroot / blood, savoury with a whiff of graphite, together, fun, excellent drinking. A delicacy wrapping a little power. Love the line and length. Great harmony and expression. Plenty more to come from this with time.Paul Kaan, Wine DecodedAlso available as a Magnum!

Pinot Noir from Volnay, Côte du Beaune
A perfumed and exceptionally pretty, elegant and pure nose speaks of wafting essence of red berries, especially cherry, along with exotic spice and floral wisps. I very much like the texture of the beautifully refined middleweight flavors that exude a fine bead of minerality on the bitter pit fruit-inflected finish that displays excellent length. This could use better depth but that should only be a matter of patience. 2034+ ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghound (91-94) Point
Pinot Noir from Aloxe-Corton, Côte du Beaune
Here a more reticent and cooler nose is both gamier and spicier. The super-sleek medium-bodied flavors possess a gorgeous mouthfeel together with solid power on the more refined and ever-so-slightly longer and notably firmer finish. This is impeccably well-balanced but in contrast to the Bressandes, extended patience will absolutely be necessary, indeed I would suggest not touching a bottle before 10 years of age. 2037+Allen Meadows, Burghound (92-95) Points
Chardonnay from Aloxe-Corton, Côte du Beaune
“The 2022 Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru is deep and muscular, wafting from the glass with aromas of pear, orange oil, white flowers, buttery pastry, freshly baked bread and hazelnuts. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, with racy acids and a long, elegantly mordant finish, it's a benchmark for the appellation that still flies under the radar.”William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 93-95 Points“This has very good intensity with scents of orange blossom, saffron, and light dried hon
Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
"Here too there is a whiff of the exotic as well as a touch of phenolic character (think olive oil nuances) on the poached pear and apple compote aromas. There is excellent richness to the bigger-bodied flavors that are caressing yet markedly powerful finish that offers very fine depth and persistence. This isn't elegant, indeed it's borderline rustic, yet it nonetheless offers much to like in a firmly structured package."Allen Meadows, Burghound
Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
This is relatively firmly reduced so if you’re tempted to try a bottle young, be sure to give it some air first. Otherwise, there is good power and underlying tension to the medium weight plus flavors that retain solid delineation on the impressively long finish. This will need to add depth with time in bottle, but the material is present for that to occur. 2028+ (from 3 separate parcels that aggregate only .2 ha)Allen Meadows, Burghound
Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
From the Grand Cru Circle!The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Grandes Ruchottes is from sourced grapes and offers up aromas of pear and orange oil mingled with notes of hazelnuts, white flowers and freshly baked bread. Medium to full-bodied, satiny and seamless, it's charming and layered, with succulent acids and a saline finish.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 91-93 PointsThis is at once aromatically cool and airy yet definitely ripe with its combination of various white orch

A more restrained nose only grudgingly displays its aromas of Granny Smith apples, anise, mineral reduction and more discreet floral elements. The racy and tautly muscular largebodied flavors possess a really lovely texture thanks to the abundant sappy dry extract that also serves to buffer the firm acidity shaping the beautifully long, stony and impeccably well-balanced finale. This also needs to develop better depth but given how tightly wound it is, and given the evident quality of the underl
Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune
The 2022 Pommard 1er Cru Les Rugiens Hauts is exquisite, wafting from the glass with aromas of sweet wild berries mingled with peonies, rose petals, blood orange and spices. Medium to full-bodied, deep and layered, it's concentrated and mineral, its cool and lively core of fruit framed by very fine, powdery tannins, concluding with a long, perfumed finish. It's reminiscent of an even more complete, accomplished version of Bouley's 2015, reflecting all the work in the vineyards and refinement in
Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
Here too there is just enough wood to merit mentioning as well as a hint of the exotic to be found on the aromas of pear confit, jasmine tea, orange peel and peach. There is superb density to the highly seductive, even plush, larger-bodied flavors that possess a suave mouthfeel while displaying stunningly good length on the powerful, firm and built-to-age finale. This is a strikingly good Criots that could be approached after only 5 to 7 years yet should repay up to 15 years of keeping. Don't M

Chardonnay from Meursault, Côte du Beaune
This is also airy and cool with a beautifully layered nose featuring notes of green apple, white flowers and a discreet hint of exotic tea. The almost painfully intense, sleek and tension-filled flavors display beautiful cut and minerality while delivering superb length on the chiseled, linear and youthfully austere finale. This is seriously impressive with fine depth and length, indeed this is altogether classy. If you can find it, buy it. ♥ Sweet spot OutstandingAllen Meadows, Burghoun
Pinot Noir from Aloxe-Corton, Côte du Beaune
Lush red cherries & raspberry preserve aromas, dried orange peel, menthol. Medium-bodied with ripe red berry fruit and cracked black pepper, saline with impressive depth & structure on the finish. This is our second allocation of this wine, which hails from a 0.26 hectare parcel of this powerful terroir. The vines here are on the younger side, but low yields of less than 25 hl/ha and Ponsot’s typically late picking offset the relative youth of the vines. It’s a deeper, more concentrated and
