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.
