Pinot Noir from Savigny-lès-Beaune, Côte du Beaune
Pavelot's Top wine rates as one of the few remaining bargains in Burgundy! This is at once the spiciest and the most floral-suffused nose in the range with its ripe yet ultra-fresh nose of various dark berries, anise and newly turned earth scents.

White Blend from Soave, Veneto
A remarkable wine 15 years in the making! Calvarino 5 is the first wine of the "Vini dell'Anima" collection.

Pinot Noir from Gevrey-Chambertin, Côte-de-Nuits
The 2021 Chambertin Grand Cru wafts from the glass with aromas of dark cherries and mulberries mingled with notions of forest floor, vine smoke, dark chocolate and spices. Full-bodied, layered and velvety, it's deep and complete, with rich, powdery tannins, lively acids and a long, resonant finish. It's the cuvée that incorporates the highest percentage of whole bunch in the range this year.William Kelley, The Wine Advocate 93-95Note: from 3 different parcels that total 1.85 ha. An
