"Pavelot’s 2008 Savigny-les-Beaune La Dominode ushers in a day I never thought I’d witness, when their wine from this site trumps its iconic rendition from Bruno Clair. The aromas blow in like an ocean breeze, carrying saline, alkaline, iodine, and kelp-like intrigue allied to aromas of narcissus and fresh plum and dark cherry with their distilled Doppelganger. The saliva-inducing enticement of multifarious mineral notes and marrow-rich meat stock as well as musky inner-mouth florality are experienced on a refined palate as if through a profound yet transparent pool of bright, ripe red fruits. Eloquently long, pure, and invigorating, this should remain a top-performer . . . . This estate (like the best wines of Savigny in general) has long represented an under-appreciated source of outstanding value, but never more so than from 2008; and while the several 2007s I tasted pointed to a more pedestrian performance, they nevertheless confirmed Domaine Pavelot’s reliability."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
A thin-skinned, terroir-sensitive red producing perfumed, silky and elegant wines of red-berry fruit and earthy complexity. It reaches its apogee in Burgundy.
