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

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 Pommard, Côte du Beaune
A brooding and still very primary nose offers up liqueur-like notes of dark cherry, raspberry, anise and a hint of wood. There is excellent verve to the utterly delicious flavors that also possess excellent delineation before concluding in a mineral-laden and sneaky long finale. This is lovely and worth a look. ♥ Outstanding Drink 2028+Burghound, 91 Points
Chardonnay from Chassagne-Montrachet, Côte du Beaune
“The 2023 Chassagne-Montrachet Village comes from three lieux-dits and was bottled in August. This has a bright citrus peel-, fresh pear- and sea spray-scented nose that leans a little toward Puligny in style. The palate is well balanced with a slightly creamy texture. It's a little spicier than other Chassagne Villages, with touches of quince and white pepper on the finish. Enjoy this over the next six to eight years.” Neal Martin, Vinous 89 PointsA touch of matchstick charac
Pinot Noir from Volnay, Côte du Beaune
A wonderfully spicy nose offers up its aromas of both red and dark raspberry, violet and soft floral nuances. There is once again a lovely texture along with fine detail to the more refined middle weight flavors that deliver very good persistence on the youthfully austere and slightly grippy finale. 2030+Allen Meadows, Burghound
Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune
Deep and concentrated, the 2019 Pommard 1er Cru La Platière evokes aromas of rose petals, red berries, Indian spices, raw cocoa and loamy soil. Medium to full-bodied, layered and vibrant, with powdery tannins and lively acids, it's the most elegant young Platière that I've tasted from the domaine.William Kelley, 91-93 Points
Pinot Noir from Beaune, Côte du Beaune
Darker and a little more brooding than the Savigny 1er. Opening beautifully in the glass with impressive mid-palate weight. Flowing and fanning out. Again, impeccably resolved and layered wine. Deftly handled stalk use yielding lovely spices and a hint of musk. Delicious drinking.Paul Kaan, Wine DecodedThe 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Les Cents Vignes bursts with aromas of plummy fruit, sweet spices and crushed mint, followed by a medium to full-bodied, ample and charming palate that's meltin

“One of the more muscular, powerful wines in the range this year is the 2022 Beaune 1er Cru Les Tuvilains, a medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated red redolent of dark berries, cherries and plums.”William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 91-93 Points“Unlike other cuvées, the 2022 Beaune Tuvilains 1er Cru was completely de-stemmed, although it gives the impression that a few stems are 'in the mix.'

Pinot Noir from Volnay, Côte du Beaune
Very ripe liqueur-like aromas of various black berries are nuanced by plenty of spice and floral elements. There is excellent underlying tension to the beautifully textured medium weight flavors that also brim with sappy dry extract and minerality, all wrapped in a bitter pit fruit finale that offers impressive persistence. This is definitely atypical but the intrinsic class of a fine Caillerets is still present. 2032+Allen Meadows, Burghound
Pinot Noir from Pommard, Côte du Beaune
Given his experience in Pommard, home turf, if he'll have handle on any fruit this will be it! A lovely perfume, as expected still very youthful. Building in weight with tannins and fruit beautifully balanced. This seems to be very well dialed in and just in need of time. With excellent length and flow. It's looking incredibly complete. I'd be hiding it away for at least 7 years to really show you its potential. Having been the manager of Comte Armand for 15 years, Benjamin Leroux knows a
Chardonnay from Meursault, Côte du Beaune
"A slightly riper nose offers up aromas of white peach, lemongrass, hazelnut and spice hints that are in keeping with the equally ripe, round and nicely rich medium-bodied flavors that aren't quite as refined, all wrapped in a delicious and more complex finish. In a word, excellent."Allen Meadows, Burghound
Pinot Noir from Volnay, Côte du Beaune
An exuberantly spicy and overtly floral nose is airy, cool and elegant. Unlike some of the other reds in the range with very low yields, the mouthfeel of the mediumbodied flavors reflects the expected density while remaining sophisticated, refined and classy on the beautifully persistent, mineral-driven and youthfully austere finale. This is terrific and should age effortlessly. 2033+ Sweet spot Outstanding ♥Allen Meadows, Burghound 92-94 Points WK 92-94
