2000 Pavelot Jean-Marc et Hugues Savigny-lès-Beaune

By on June 30, 2005 #asides

Drank directly after Robert Gibourg’s Morey. Medium, medium-plus ruby red. Again high toned but much more fruit on the nose. A step-up in concentration, but after ten minutes taint starts to dominate the palate before creeping into the nose too. Bottle two was not so obviously high-toned as the first but still relatively so. Colour and density were the same as bottle 1. Still a step-up from the Gibourg, but just missing a little sweetness. It compliments food, but doesn’t make a completely satisfying solo drink, like many 2000’s today it is hiding its charm.

Deep colour, the core is ruby but the rim looks very young. Depth on the nose too, red and black fruit – neither dominates. Real concentration with an intensity thats exacerbated by the acidity. No rough edges, the tannins are well to the background. Really excellent potential for this wine.

Actually contains some old-vines (50 yo) pinot blanc. Pale yellow colour. The nose bursts with melon, pineapple and green-apple skin. Some fat, and despite a mouthwatering finish, my taste begs more acidity. Whilst quite simple in the mouth there’s a really engaging and long finish.

2002 Pavelot Jean-Marc et Hugues Savigny-lès-Beaune

Most of the vines are in Guettotes close to the 1er Cru Aux Guettes. A bright, medium cherry-red colour. A greeting of bright and pure red cherries on the nose. This purity is equally obvious on the palate, red-shaded fruit that shows good concentration. Plenty of structure, the ripe tannins adhere to your gums and teeth. Lovely balancing acidity. A fresh complexion to this very-good villages

2002 Pavelot Jean-Marc et Hugues Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Peuillets

From terre-rouge, the vineyard is full of small stones, this cuvée typically sees around 10% new oak. Similar intensity of colour, but a deeper shade. The nose is also a little deeper, gently supported by some oak. Finer tannins and an extra dimension of complexity. Lovely acidity pushed the finish much longer than that of the villages. Very well balanced.

2002 Pavelot Jean-Marc et Hugues Savigny-lès-Beaune Aux Guettes

By on February 28, 2005 #asides

Pronounced ‘Gets’, the shallow soil is quite rich and full of chalky stones. A little more (20%) new oak is used in the elevage. Just a little deeper colour again. The nose is primary showing real depth – cherry/kirsch. A denser expression in the mouth, tighter too. Whilst the previous wine was a little fresher, this is all-round more profound. The dryish tannin clings to your lips. Finishing strongly, this is a real vin-de-garde, and very good it is too.

2002 Pavelot Jean-Marc et Hugues Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Dominode

By on February 28, 2005 #asides

Thirty percent new oak for the elevage of this wine. A bright, medium cherry-red colour. The nose seems a little tighter than the Aux Guettes, but still manages to show an extra depth and width. A little extra fat on this round and concentrated palate the fruit guards well the tannic structure- a real extra level of complexity on the finish. Lovely wine.

2001 Pavelot Jean-Marc et Hugues Savigny-lès-Beaune

Medium cherry-red with a little fading at the rim. The fruit on the nose is less primary, showing a more raisin aspect. Similar fruit on the palate, medium concentration but very well crafted. The finish is super – good structure and excellent value.

Similar colour. The fruit is a little diffuse, but the panorama is much wider – even a little coffee. The concentration of the palate belies the colour, though it’s certainly a more elegant expression than the 2002 – today.
