Tasting notes
Bright medium red. More complex and expressive on the nose than the Lavières, with fruit aromas of cherry and raspberry complicated by mint and resin nuances. Suave and fine-grained, delivering mouthfilling richness to its flavors of black cherry, dark raspberry and spices. Lovely intensity and definition here. Finishes with fully ripe tannins and noteworthy length. This should evolve gracefully.

The 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Gravains possesses the most vivacious and animated bouquet of Pavelot's 2015s: red cherries, crushed strawberry, iodine and hints of black plum later on. There is a lot going on within these aromatics that won't sit still. The palate is exquisite: wonderful balance, filigree tannin and a velvety texture all ticked off. There is a lovely saline note that surfaces towards the finish that exhibits tremendous depth, completing a top-class Savigny that will give years of pleasure.
(from light, gravelly soil with a lot of small rocks): Bright, dark red. Precise on the nose, showing good calcaire lift to the aromas of raspberry, licorice and crushed rock. Sharply delineated, juicy wine with lovely purity and mineral lift. A very long and elegant Savigny-lès-Beaune wine.
