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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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-/?

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Had this bottle over three nights and it was just too young and not ready. Night one was very tight on pop n' pour with little evolution over the course of two hours. Sour cranberry with some earthy notes. Taut and lean on the palate. By night three, the nose has slightly more nuance but not much. Palate picks up some depth and intensity with a nice spice and stemmy kick in the finish. No where near ready -- put these away for 5-10 years.

Good wine, lovely translucid ruby colour. Fine aromas of red fruits and med+ aromas of red/black fruits, farmyard along with med+ acidity and alcohol. Very good balance and concentration. It is worth of a Beaune 1er Cru and it that hot vintage I was glad to drink a tipically pinot-noiresque wine! Can drink now or hold for another decade.

I never tried this wine before, but I've heard for some time now that this represents a great QPR for a burgundy. So curiosity got the better of me and I opened this up to go along with filet mignon tonight while my family was hunkered down during the early stages of a snow storm. While the wine provided a great pairing, it definitely needs a few more years at a minimum. It has a great core of fruit with mineral and earth undertones and with a trace of cinnamon and spice, but the tannins need time to smooth out and integrate (not that they are unpleasant now). I suspect that additional flavor complexity will be apparent with time as well. I really do think this has good potential, but additional patience is warranted. Live and learn.

I’ve heard some folks saying that 2009s are showing well so I decided to check in on this one. While young, it is certainly enjoyable. A bit of wood spice frames some distinctly cherry-ish fruit. The structure is full, but not imposing, most likely due to the baby fat hanging on it. This comes across as a very sauve and classy Savigny, which should come as no surprise. This went relatively quickly as the first red of the night, so I didn’t have a chance to see if it closed down with air. If you have a good bit, I think it’s educational and fun to check in with a wine like this at this point.

Light transparent ruby. Smells of red fruits with some spicy note from the oak. Tastes like it smells except you can add minerality, some tannic grip and juicy acids. The mid palate is a bit thin.

Nez qui pinotte, avec des arômes de cèdre, de résine, de fruit. Un vin concentré, dont la puissance est bien contenue par ses tanins soyeux, laissant une impression de grande classe. On atteint un niveau insoupçonnable pour l'appellation, mais on ne peut parler d'aubaine pour autant. Encore bien jeune, sur la réserve, donnera une bien belle bouteille dans quelques années. Disons vers 2018-2020. 91-92+ pts

2009 Burgundy Dinner with Robert Panzer (Boka - Chicago IL): Open 3 hours before serving. Very ripe black and red cherry aromas with lots of spice. Dense and slightly compact on palate, but strong spice emerging on long finish. Not as interesting today as the Guettes in the next glass, but I think Dominode will be the better wine longer term.

Domain Pavelot Visit (Savigny-les-Beaune): Clearly the most backward and structured of these wines. Needs time but has loads in reserve. Underlying stoniness and black fruit are apparent. Quite a contrast to the '08 version which we tried later.

Light transparent ruby. Smells of red fruits with some spicy note from the oak. Tastes like it smells except you can add minerality, some tannic grip and juicy acids. The mid palate is a bit thin.

Just like last bottle, yummy, nice '09. Deep dark, juicy fruit, yum.

Amazingly approachable. Spice and tart cherry; dense, fruity and elegant.

Nez qui pinotte, avec des arômes de cèdre, de résine, de fruit. Un vin concentré, dont la puissance est bien contenue par ses tanins soyeux, laissant une impression de grande classe. On atteint un niveau insoupçonnable pour l'appellation, mais on ne peut parler d'aubaine pour autant. Encore bien jeune, sur la réserve, donnera une bien belle bouteille dans quelques années. Disons vers 2018-2020. 91-92+ pts

Very good juice. Not too acidic, but a little tart. Lots of tobacco beautiful red cherry flavors. Super silky and quick to disappear.

2009 Burgundy Dinner with Robert Panzer (Boka - Chicago IL): Open 3 hours before serving. Very ripe black and red cherry aromas with lots of spice. Dense and slightly compact on palate, but strong spice emerging on long finish. Not as interesting today as the Guettes in the next glass, but I think Dominode will be the better wine longer term.

Awesome juicy oozing goodness, loads of ultra-ripe raspberry and bing cherry. Framed by an herbal (good) spicy/minerally lift.

2009 1er Cru Red Burgs from Beaune & Savigny-les-Beaune (Beltramo's, Menlo Park, CA): Pretty, black cherry nose. Medium bodied with medium acidity. Red cherry fruit, crushed black rocks. Polished and lovely. My favorite of the flight.

Domain Pavelot Visit (Savigny-les-Beaune): Clearly the most backward and structured of these wines. Needs time but has loads in reserve. Underlying stoniness and black fruit are apparent. Quite a contrast to the '08 version which we tried later.

Very woody when first opened, but this passed after 30 minutes of breathing, became much fruitier after this cherries, raspberries on the palette a nice wine for summertime.
