Tasting notes
Pavelot’s vines in Les Serpentières average around 60 years in age. The wine has always been in the line-up, but until 2022, Hugues Pavelot had just 0.17 hectares – now he has over a hectare, all in the northern part of the vineyard, which generally produces a wine of finesse. It’s particularly true in 2022, with the wine a more delicate, floral and transparent expression of Savigny-lès-Beaune. Bright redcurrant and raspberry fruit fills the core of the palate, framed by grippy tannins and building to a long, mineral finish.

The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Serpentières 1er Cru has an attractive nose, superior to the previous vintage, with brambly red berry fruit, forest floor and a slight talcum scent. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins on the entry. It’s a lighter Savigny yet beautifully balanced with a sensual, caressing finish. Drink after a couple of years in bottle.
