Fans of Red Burgundy know that while it's easy to score a highly rated wine when price is no object, the real jackpot is finding an exceptional, age-worthy Burgundy under $100. Garnering terrific ratings, this selection of outstanding 2019 Domaine Pavelot Savigny-lès-Beaune Rouge provides excellent "bang for the buck" from one of the AOC's top producers in the Côte de Beaune, "right at the top of the price to quality curve" according to The Burgundy Report.
With a family history in Savigny dating back to the French Revolution, current owners Jean Marc and his son Hugues are the driving forces behind Domaine Pavelot, producing mostly red wines from their 13 hectares of estate vineyards. Boasting a higher proportion of old vines than most vineyards in Savigny, the Domaine's vines average over 65 years of age with many nearly 100 years old, planted at altitudes up to 360 meters and providing small yields of rich, concentrated fruit. Arguably the most celebrated vineyard in Savigny, the 2.2-hectare parcel of La Dominode is the Domaine's largest 1er cru holding, producing a 2019 of remarkable depth and aging potential. Planted on a rocky mix of clay and limestone, the vines of 1er Cru Aux Guettes enjoy a mid-slope, southern exposure, the 2019 boasting precision and minerality. Sourced from over 5 hectares of Village level vineyards, the entry level 2019 Pavelot Savigny-Les-Beaune boasts structure worthy of a decade of cellaring and is incredibly priced.
"Quite possibly the village’s finest producer" according to Vinous critic Neal Martin, Domaine Pavelot continues its legacy of crafting top rated, long-lived Red Burgundy in 2019. Burgundy fans and lovers of exceptional Pinot Noir alike will appreciate hitting the jackpot with this highly rated selection of 2019 Pavelot Savigny-les-Beaune and stock up on these treasures while they last. |
