Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 89.6 pts. and median of 90 pts. in 6 notes)

 Tasted by CSteefel on 12/25/2009: Excellent, with very good depth of material, although this needs some serious bottle time. (234 views)
 Tasted by Rupert on 8/2/2009 & rated 90 points: Much much bigger than the '06 which we had alongside, a briary nose, wild, piercing fragrance, liquorice and black cherries on the palate, this too is tight, but the class is very obvious (968 views)
 Tasted by rottcodd on 7/7/2009 & rated 90 points: Opened up nicely on the second night (1102 views)
 Tasted by swp3 on 1/14/2008 & rated 88 points: With dinner at the bar at August in New Orleans. First glass was from a (warm) bottle opened previous day. Subsequent glasses from newly opened bottle slighly chilled. Experiences similar. Leather, earth and smoke in the nose. Fruit is cherry and cassis. Overall lean and tart with a floral dimension on the finish and a big dose of oak throughout. Tannins are light and mid-pallete acid lingers through the finish. Mildly interesting departure from my new world pinot rut, but the usual argument for this sort of wine is that it's food friendly. In that regard I think I gave it ample opportunity to shine (truffles, duck confit, gnocci, blue cheese, etc.), but it really didn't. (2482 views)
 Tasted by jdunnuck on 1/10/2008 & rated 91 points: Fort Collins January Tasting (Damosso Restaurant, Loveland, CO): A fairly big and structured pinot that shows cool black cherry, earth, tobacco and background spice aromas on the young, intense nose. Medium bodied with a lot of sappy fruit; this improved with air and picked up a full, smooth texture. Fairly high acidity but also nice fruit, this has a tannic, long finish. (2475 views)
 Tasted by rottcodd on 12/26/2007 & rated 89 points: Quite full, backed by oak, balanced but not flashing multi-dimensions at the moment. (2343 views)

Professional 'Channels'
By Bill Nanson
Burgundy-Report (11/1/2007)
(Pavelot Jean-Marc et Hugues Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Dominode) Medium-plus colour. The nose starts as a sumptuous swirl of deep cherry and well-integrated oak, an hour from opening and it’s tighter with edges of tobacco and cocoa. Like the nose, this starts hyper-concentrated yet plush, but like the nose it’s a transitory period before it tightens to show its inner self; intensity, excellent acidity and furry tannin before a good finish. Sumptuous and hedonistic for 25 minutes, underneath there’s the power and structure for 25 years of development. Given the tightening I would suggest drinking only over the next 6 months before sleeping for at least 10-plus - but buy all you can find, and that’s despite a 30% price increase over the last 4 vintages.

About red wine
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, Germany, the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Croatia, Serbia, Italy, and so forth, with varying degrees of success.
Vins de France (Office National Interprofessionnel des Vins ) | Pages Vins, Directory of French Winegrowers | French Wine (Wikipedia)
Les vins de Bourgogne (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne)
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.

Côte de Beaune (Bureau interprofessionnel des vins de Bourgogne)
Savigny-lès-Beaune lies between Beaune and Pernand, and is the third, behind Beaune and Pommard, in production of red wine in the Côte de Beaune, although its vineyards, both at the village and premier cru levels, may produce white wines under the Savigny and Savigny Premier Cru appellations. White wine, however, is only 3.2 percent of the total 9,760 hectolitre (108,450-case) annual yield. Of its 945 acres, 356 are in 19 premier cru vineyards located along the northern (Pernand) and southern (Beaune) edges of the commune. The lesser central vineyards lie mostly along the bank of the little Rhoin River, which runs across Savigny.

This quiet little village is both picturesque and charming. Its twelfth century church, two châteaux, and similarly venerable houses surrounded by their vineyards, invite exploration. Moreover, many of the walls of Savigny's edifices are curiously engraved with wall inscriptions roughly equivalent to what one might call literate graffiti. Dating somewhere between the 1600s and 1800s, their author is unknown, but their subject is often wine. 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.

Savigny's vineyards show two distinct soil types. Those to the north of the Rhoin are rich in clay, producing full, structured wines; those to the south are gravelly, producing lighter, more elegant wines. The "Les Jarrons" premier cru lies to the far south end of the commune at the border near Beaune, and is comprised of three vineyard parcels: Les Jarrons, with 3.5 acres; Les Hauts Jarrons, with 11 acres; and La Dominode, with 20 acres. Domaine Louis Jadot is proprietor of a superb, easterly-exposed 4.9 acre parcel in the La Dominode acquired in 1989 from Domaines Champy which produces a fresh, frank, vivacious wine of considerable charm, with bright, red berry fruit and a fragrant, refined bouquet.
