(Pavelot Jean-Marc et Hugues Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Gravains) A treat! Medium ruby-red. The nose is a lovely blend of confiture over soil - and that's while the wine is still cold. Gorgeous, soft texture, real concentration and an almost caramel aspect. The tannins are still evident but they're well to the background. A sneaky length that just builds with time. Jean-Marc bought these vines in 1988, and Hugues says that the '88 was quite tanninc when young and is still a little hard - this, however, is just perfect now and there's no rush.

Maison Dakota session with Asparagus gang. Drank in Gabriel Standart.
Pop and poured. Amazingly lasted well the whole night without going downhill.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, garnet colour. Legs.
Nose medium+ intensity, with a mature bouquet of sauvage earth, mossy undergrowth, soy sauce, chalky minerality, dark red cherries, smoked meat. Developed.
On the palate, dry, high acidity, medium alcohol (13%), prickly medium tannins, medium body. Medium+ flavour intensity, with flavours of dark red cherries, black cherries, wild earth, undergrowth, smokey meat, savoury soy. Long finish.
Very good quality. Showing the wild side of Savigny for sure. Great longevity. Time to drink up and enjoy.
