| Community Tasting Notes (average 90.3 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 81 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by beachbum on 5/7/2024: really nice concentrated fruit, juicy, tannins are softening and this will s a nice bottle (340 views) | | | Tasted by ChrisR on 4/25/2024: Skip the flavor descriptors: the important thing to note is that this wine was rich, juicy-fruity, even a little fat. Good concentration and depth, still with some tannic firmness to keep things in harness. Notwithstanding, I could see dropping this into a California pinot tasting (decent ones) without notice. I quite liked it, but I can't see this appealing to Burgundy snobs. (300 views) | | | Tasted by asgerG on 8/13/2023 & rated 92 points: PnP
Totally agree with comments by Milos 28/6-2023 - great balance, a delight to drink now but will evolve further.
Drink now-2030
Thanks Sten (1066 views) | | | Tasted by Milos on 6/28/2023 & rated 91 points: Dark garnet. Forward dark cherry and just touch of earthy notes. Fully resolved palate with bright fresh fruit and earthy notes; great acidity to balance the fruit. So enjoyable now. (1006 views) | | | Tasted by Rabun on 4/21/2023 & rated 91 points: Having enjoyed two 750s of this wine, I have to say both bottles of the 2009 were fully resolved and absolutely beautiful!! Allen Meadows called out the fact that Pavelot makes great wines, and I can attest. This wine is beautiful and that's saying a lot for this terroir. Fully resolved and in my opinion this wine has peaked and should hold for the next 10+ years. A real beauty & for the money a real stunner!! One to buy annually. Great value that drinks well YOUNG. (1372 views) | | | Tasted by Thellie on 4/11/2023 & rated 90 points: Recognizable Burgundy aroma, surprisingly dark for a wine made nearly 14 years ago. While there certainly is complexity here, I’m surprised by the tension and slightly astringent finish, especially given the rich, round warmth of the 2009 vintage. An excellent match for roasted duck and carrots, but I will wait another year or two in hopes of more development and complexity. (1202 views) | | | Tasted by jaggeral1 on 2/26/2023 & rated 92 points: After a few bottles seeming a little tired this bottle showed very well. Deepy plummy, curranty fruit but still a red fruit feel. There's nice vibrancy here today and the wine is juicy in the vintage style. The balance feels spot on today, still some structure to support, mineral and acid freshness and plenty of stuffing. The finish is long and satisfying. In a good zone for drinking now. (1254 views) | | | Tasted by Outplaying on 1/14/2023: Darker toned fruit than the Jadot we had with this. I found the Jadot more interesting than this. Dark and brooding. It did not see much air, which may have helped. Hold and hope for more interesting things to come. (1074 views) | | | Tasted by WillersC on 7/30/2022 & rated 92 points: From magnum (with a little bit of signs of seepage, and the cork split on opening).
A little funky on the nose initially but this blew off after a few minutes to reveal rich raspberries and blackberries on the nose. The palate was rich, mouth filling and long.
This is drinking well now, with no rush to finish any remaining bottles (1360 views) | | | Tasted by drwine2001 on 3/25/2022: Even ruby. Blackberry and a touch of soil. Medium weight, a bit stern but not at all severe or brambly like young Savigny. Some spice and licorice come up. Ripely tannic finish. This is still clearly young but is already quite approachable and enjoyable. Excellent wine. (1940 views) | | | Tasted by asparagus on 11/14/2021 & rated 91 points: Still young, but should be at the very start of its drinking window. Good concentration, persistence and fruit. Think the Pavelot style + the 09 ripeness = winner (2132 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 5/9/2021 & rated 91 points: Un vin charnu, épicé, il a de la mâche et une bonne concentration, dans un style austère pour ce millésime souvent gourmand. Le vin est encore jeune et s’exprimera sans doute mieux dans quelques années, mais après 2 heures on a un bon aperçu de ses qualités indéniables. L’équilibre est bon, le vin demeure sérieux, mais plus profond et très minéral, de plus en plus savoureux.
Belle bouteille probablement meilleure dans deux ans. Le prix était raisonnable pour cette qualité en 2012 (57$). 91+ pts (2823 views) | | | Tasted by MC on 2/28/2021: Splash decanted a glass 3 hours and tasted alongside the '05 with similar treatment over the next 3 hours. Medium red color that was a bit lighter vs. '05 but still quite full. Nose is also more red fruit vs. the darker fruit of the '05 but there is also some sawdust on the nose of the '09 at open. Reserved, even more so than the '05 at open. At 3 hours the nose has settled down just a bit and the sawdust has blown off but still this is quite primary and austere. On the palate this is lighter, with more red fruits than the '05 but also less evolved and more austere with some real cut at the end. This seems at least a few years away from showing what it has in store but should be very nice with time. Will see if overnight the rest of the bottle shows anything different. A- Day 2 this was not showing much more although was more "pure" expression than the '05. But still feels like this needs 2-3+ years but a very good wine in the making. A-/? (2578 views) | | | Tasted by LT98 on 2/11/2021 & rated 91 points: Opened too young but it was still great. Very tight structure and firm tannins that opened up after an hour or so to dark rich fruit. I would hold for at least 3 years, when I think it will begin to reach it's potential. (2383 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 10/8/2020 & rated 90 points: Après deux bouteilles de Givry bouchonnées, un Chambolle un peu cuit...je sors enfin une bouteille qu'on peut boire!
Joli nez mais discret, fruit frais, floral, cerises rouges.
Bouche acidulée, fraîche, assez tendue, pas très mûre mais bien équilibrée. Je n’aurais jamais pensé 2009, plus 2010! On dirait un chambolle par sa texture élégante. C'est fort bon, mais je pense qu’il est peut-être trop jeune encore, car il n'est pas pleinement expressif. Il parait de plus en plus concentré avec l’aération. Revoir dans trois ans, il pourrait s’avérer encore bien meilleur. 90+ pts (2899 views) | | | Tasted by Andydna on 12/22/2019 & rated 91 points: Very good. Dark wine. Dark cherry notes. I would hold longer. (2886 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 12/4/2019: Dur à l’ouverture, il a besoin d’air pour se montrer sous un jour plus aimable. Méconnaissable par rapport à la dernière bouteille, celle-ci montre un vin puissant et tannique, trop jeune en l’état, mais concentré et minéral. Après deux heures, c’est franchement bon.
Ça pourrait évoluer favorablement, mais j’attendrais 3 ans. (2833 views) | | | Tasted by Milos on 10/10/2019 & rated 91 points: Deep crimson colour; dark raspberry and cherry nose with and mineral complexity; palate is full bodied, with ripe fine tannins with long finish; very enjoyable now but no need to rush. (2398 views) | | | Tasted by vulgar little monkey on 10/1/2019 & rated 90 points: A very good wine, but still a bit closed with the structure dominating. Given how well some other 2009s have shown for me, this was a bit surprising. Pavelot wines can be pretty rigidly structured, so my hope is that this will knit together better in a few more years. Plenty of fruit, etc. to outlast the structure. (2459 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 5/29/2019 & rated 90 points: Mixed WTDS at Ciao Bella (Ciao Bella, Mpls): Dark red color. PNP, drank a glass over 90 minutes. Kirsch, black cherry liqueur, volatile, a bit briary, medium plus body. Really just starting to come around after 90 minutes. (2775 views) | | | Tasted by Matt T on 1/25/2019 & rated 90 points: Really in a great place right now. Opened after about an hour with pleasant minerality and good fruit. (2147 views) | | | Tasted by jnewman77 on 1/6/2019: This is delicious; the nose is full of red fruits and mineral notes, a few floral notes and hint of nice; the palate is fresh and vibrant, still with a lot of structure, though the depth and acidity can definitely stand up to it. Should be good still for several years. (2190 views) | | | Tasted by Rollerball on 10/28/2018 & rated 91 points: Surprisingly stern but with a good amount of multi dimensional fruit: cherries, roots, and amaro notes. (2381 views) | | | Tasted by jnewman77 on 8/23/2018: This was excellent; certainly ripe fruit, but nicely balanced and good structure. (2329 views) | | | Tasted by d'Artagnan on 8/4/2018 & rated 88 points: Pas très gras pour un 2009 il me semble. Il paraît svelte, un peu acidulé, d’une belle finesse de tanins, c’est équilibré mais pas du tout expressif en l’état. Il semble même sévère, un terme que je n’associe jamais à ce millésime. Besoin de temps ou bouteille imparfaite? Revoir dans 3-5 ans
En l’état 88+...
Quand je préfère la version 2005 à 2009, il y a quelque chose d'étrange!! (2532 views) | | | Only displaying the 25 most recent notes - click to see all notes for this wine... |

| Domaine Pavelot (Jean-Marc et Hugues) Producer website
THE DOMAIN IS MANAGED BY HUGUES PAVELOT, WHO HAS TAKEN OVER IN RECENT YEARS FROM HIS FATHER JEAN-MARC.The domaine has impressive holdings: six plots of premier cru Savigny-les-Beaune, three of which are in the famed valley of Bouilland. Their basic Savigny is a perfect marriage of tension and freshness. The premier crus beautifully reflect their respective terroirs, and have proven over time their ability to age with grace and elegance. It is is highly recommended to cellar crus like Les Peuillets and La Dominode. A perusal of reviews from recent vintages by Burghound’s Allan Meadows reveals that Pavelot is amongst the appellation’s best.
Today, Hugues Pavelot handles operations and wine production, and Domainet is recognized as one of the best producers in
Savigny-Lés-Beaune.
He has taken over this Domaine after his father Jean-Marc. They currently own 13 hectares of vineyards primarily in Savigny-Lés-Beaune, of which no less than approx. 7.8 acres is 1st cru. Of which also 0.09 acres white Corton Grand Cru. They are located in the town of Savigny-Lés-Beaune, where all production and storage also takes place.
Their vineyards consist mainly of old vines, in some areas of their fields with an age of up to 80 years!
The vinification is optimized in relation to the individual terroir. It is important for Hugues that the individual terroir for the opportunity to express themselves with the right characteristics terroir for terroir.
Next to their own wines, they have started making some wine from grapes they buy from other winemakers (negociant business).Pinot Noir Varietal character (Appellation America) | Varietal article (Wikipedia)
Pinot Noir is the Noble red grape of Burgundy, capable of ripening in a cooler climate, which Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot will not reliably do. It is unpredictable and difficult both to grow and to vinify, but results in some of the finest reds in the world. It is believed to have been selected from wild vines two thousand years ago. It is also used in the production of champagne. In fact, more Pinot Noir goes into Champagne than is used in all of the Cote d'Or! It is also grown in Alsace, Jura, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Romania, Switzerland, Austria, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Pinot Noir is one of the world's most prestigious grapes. It is very difficult to grow and thrives well in France, especially in Champagne and Burgundy. Pinot Noir thrives less in hot areas, is picky on soil, and deserves some oak storage.
Pinot Noir, or Blauburgunder / Spätburgunder in German, is a blue grapevine - and, as the German name suggests, the grape comes originally from Burgundy in France.
The grape, which thrives in calcareous soils, is used primarily for the production of red wine, and it is widely regarded as producing some of the best wines in the world. The wine style is often medium-bodied with high fruit acidity and soft tannins. It can be quite peculiar in fragrance and taste, and not least in structure - which may be why it is referred to as "The Grapes Ballerina".
Pinot Noir is also an important ingredient in sparkling wines, not least in champagne since it is fruity, has good acidity and contains relatively little tannins.
The grape is considered quite demanding to grow. The class itself consists of tightly packed grapes, which makes it more sensitive to rot and other diseases.
Pinot Noir changes quite easily and is genetically unstable. It buds and matures early which results in it often being well ripened. Climate is important for this type of grape. It likes best in cool climates - in warm climates the wines can be relaxed and slightly pickled.
In cooler climates, the wine can get a hint of cabbage and wet leaves, while in slightly warmer regions we often find notes of red berries (cherries, strawberries, raspberries, currants), roses and slightly green notes when the wine is young. With age, more complex aromas of forest floor, fungi and meat emerge.
In Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Hungary, it often produces light wines with less character. However, it has produced very good results in California, Oregon and New Zealand.
With its soft tannins and delicate aroma, it is excellent for white fish, chicken and light meat. For the stored wines you can serve small game. Classic duck breast is a matter of course, a Boeuf Burgundy and Pinot Noir are pure happiness.
Pinot Noir loses quality by over-harvesting.
Pinot Noir is prone to diseases, especially rot and mildew. Viruses cause major problems especially in Burgundy.
Pinot Noir are large round grapes with thin skins. Relatively high in alcohol content. Medium rich tannins and good with acid.
As a young person, Pinot Noir has a distinctly fruity character such as raspberries, cherries and strawberries.
A mature Pinot Noir, the taste is different. Cherry goes into plum and prune flavors. It smells of rotten leaves, coffee, moist forest floor and animal wine. This must be experienced.
In warm climates you find boiled plum, some rustic, little acid.
If the grapes are over-grown, the wine will be thin, with little color and flavor.La Dominode On weinlagen-infoFrance Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

Burgundy - The province of eastern France, famous for its red wines produced from Pinot Noir and its whites produced from Chardonnay. (Small of amounts of Gamay and Aligoté are still grown, although these have to be labeled differently.) The most famous part of the region is known as the Cote d'Or (the Golden Slope). It is divided into the Cote de Beaune, south of the town of Beaune (famous principally for its whites), and the Cote de Nuits, North of Beaune (home of the most famous reds). In addition, the Cote Chalonnaise and the Maconnais are important wine growing regions, although historically a clear level (or more) below the Cote d'Or. Also included by some are the regions of Chablis and Auxerrois, farther north.

# 2013 Vintage Notes:
* "2013 is a vintage that 20 years ago would have been a disaster." - Will Lyons
* "low yields and highly variable reds, much better whites." - Bill Nanson
* "Virtually all wines were chaptalised, with a bit of sugar added before fermentation to increase the final alcohol level." - Jancis Robinson
# 2014 Vintage Notes:
"We have not had such splendid harvest weather for many years. This will ensure high quality (fragrant, classy and succulent are words already being used) across the board, up and down the hierarchy and well as consistently from south to north geographically apart from those vineyards ravaged by the hail at the end of June." - Clive Coates
# 2015 Vintage Notes:
"Low yields and warm weather allowed for ample ripeness, small berries and an early harvest. Quality is looking extremely fine, with some people whispering comparisons with the outstanding 2005 vintage. Acid levels in individual wines may be crucial." - Jancis Robinson
# 2017 Vintage Notes:
"Chablis suffered greatly from frost in 2017, resulting in very reduced volumes. As ever, the irony seems to be that what remains is very good quality, as it is in the Côte d’Or. Cooler nights across the region have resulted in higher-than-usual acidity, with good conditions throughout the harvest season allowing for ripe, healthy fruit." - Jancis Robinson
# 2018 Vintage Notes:
"The most successful region for red Burgundy in 2018 was the Côte de Beaune. The weather was ideal in this area, with just enough sunlight and rain to produce perfectly balanced wines naturally." - Vinfolio

Vineyard maps on weinlagen.infoSavigny-lès-Beaune 1er CruFrom Wikipedia
The Village: Savigny-lès-Beaune lies between Beaune to the south and to the north Pernand-Vergelesses with Aloxe-Corton to the east. This vibrant little village is both picturesque and charming. The village dates to the Roman-Gallo Villa Saviniaci. Its twelfth century church, two châteaux, and similarly venerable homes surrounded by their vineyards, invite exploration. Moreover, many (12) of the walls of Savigny's edifices are engraved with wall inscriptions, often on the subject of wine. These date from about 1700 when monsieur de Migieu, who owned the Château de Savigny, had them engraved. One states: "Les vins de Savigny sont nourrissants, théologiques et morbifuges." ("The wines of Savigny are nourishing, theological and death-preventive.") This was doubtless inspired by the Vatican's impressive orders for Savigny's wines, which were far in excess of that needed to celebrate the mass. Today Savigny is village of 1,450 inhabitants (only twice the number from the 13th century!). It is well know for two annual festivals, the first is Bienvenue à Savigny (Welcome to Savigny) held the first weekend in May when most of the village winemakers open their doors for tasting. The second in mid July is Savigny en Tous Sens (Savigny in All Senses) when the village hosts a balade gourmande, featuring numerous village wines, that ends with a sit-down dinner at the Château. This event requires a ticket that can be obtained from the event web site http://www.savigny-entoussens.com/). Savigny is also the home to Cousinerie de Bourgogne, a society of approximately 200 devoted to the celebration of wine. The Wines: Savigny is the third largest producer of red wine in the Côte d'Or behind Beaune and Pommard. It also produces small amounts of whites, rosés, and crémants.
Savigny has no Grand Crus but more Premier Crus than any other village on the Côte d'Or. The village has 22 Premier Crus totaling 141.5 ha, split into two groups by the river Rhoin which runs through it from the Haut Côte down to the plain, those south of the village toward Beaune include les Rouvrettes, Redrescul, les Haut Jarron, La Dominode, les Jarron, les Narbantons, les Haut Marconnets, les Marconnets and those north of the village toward Pernand include Aux Guettes, Aux Clous, Aux Serpentières, Aux Gravains, Petites-Godeaux, les Charnières, les Talmettes, les Lavières, les Vergelesses, Batailière, les Basses-Vergelesses, Champ-Chevrey, and Aux Fourneaux. Savigny's vineyards show two distinct terroirs. Those to the north of the Rhoin face almost due south with full sun and are rich in limestones but with shallow soil, producing lighter, fruitier, faster-maturing wines; those to the south of Rhoin face almost due east (with 1-2 hours less sun) and are sandier with deep soil, producing fuller, more earthy, longer-lived wines. There are also 212.5 ha of village wines including Aux Grands Liards with its vines planted in 1913 and approaching their 100 year anniversary. The village also has 190 ha of regional burgundy vineyards. Of particular importance in the village is the production of crémants, which was started in 1825. The lesser central vineyards lie mostly along the bank of the little Rhoin River, which runs between the two Côtes of Savigny. |
