| Community Tasting Notes (average 91.8 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 8 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by JCGuthrie on 6/9/2020 & rated 90 points: Not giving much on the nose or palate. Dark, mineral-laden fruit on the nose with some hints of red fruit on the palate. Very subtle, was hoping for a bit more from this wine, to be honest (752 views) | | | Tasted by JCGuthrie on 4/3/2019: Quick double decant, and open for a couple hours before drinking. Part of a blind tasting of 8 pinots from Burgundy, Oregon and CA. No detailed notes, but everyone at the table guessed CA. With 20/20 hindsight, the higher acid should have been the giveaway. Nice wine, but didn't stand out among the other wines tonight. (849 views) | | | Tasted by rocknroller on 3/31/2019 & rated 92 points: Monthly Tasting Group: Blind Pinots Worldwide (The Bungalow Club, Mpls): Small taste, non blind, Earthy and red fruited, floral, very dank floral notes on the palate. I really like this one. 91+ to 92pts. (1310 views) | | | Tasted by jasonh on 7/16/2014 & rated 94 points: Outstanding right of the gate. Expressive citrus and funky earth. The attack is brambly. Very compelling texture. Very long finish with sweet tannins and medium acid. (1751 views) | | | Tasted by ato2 on 3/31/2014: This is a wonderfully bright, fat juicy Beaune that is popping right now. (1847 views) | | | Tasted by jaimetown on 6/12/2008 & rated 90 points: Deep dark ruby in color - aromas of ripe dark cherries and cocoa powder. A meaty frame with smoky but sleek fruits fill the midpalate. A substantial wine without being heavy - a great match for marinated skirt steak on the grill. (2286 views) |

| 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.France Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)

2022 harvest: idealwine.info | wine-searcher.comBurgundy Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne) (and in English)
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
