Tasting: A refined expression of Savigny-lès-Beaune showing characteristic elegance. The nose offers delicate red cherries, wild strawberries, and subtle floral notes, with hints of forest floor and sweet spice. The palate presents bright red fruits and mineral notes supported by fine-grained tannins, displaying the appellation's trademark combination of accessibility and refinement. Critics particularly note its purity of fruit and precise terroir expression.
Pairing: The wine's elegant character pairs perfectly with Poulet Landes served with wild Chanterelles or Girolles. For lighter meats, choose Limousin Veal or traditional Boudin Blanc. The refined structure complements Guinea Fowl or La Cour D'Armoise chicken. For cheese, serve with a young Camembert de Normandie or Pont-l'Évêque at perfect ripeness.
Producer: The Pavelot family has been making wine in Savigny-lès-Beaune since the 17th century. Hugues Pavelot, representing the current generation, maintains his family's traditional approach while introducing subtle modernizations where beneficial. The domaine's holdings across various premier crus showcase the diversity of Savigny's terroirs. Their winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention, with careful sorting, gentle extraction, and moderate oak use to preserve the characteristic elegance of Savigny-lès-Beaune.
Vintage: 2017 represents a classic Burgundian vintage, marked by favorable growing conditions. After early season frost challenges, summer brought steady warmth without extreme heat. September provided ideal harvest conditions, allowing for optimal ripeness. The resulting wines show excellent balance and transparency to terroir, with the natural elegance of Savigny-lès-Beaune shining through.
