Critics Ratings

‘The 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavières has a pastille-like quality to the nose: strawberry, red plums with just a hint of cassis in the background. The palate is medium-bodied with a sensual opening that almost catches you off-guard. The tannins feel so supple and lithe in the mouth. It is beautifully balanced with a satin-like texture towards the sustained finish. Often one of Pavelot's strongest wines, this is gorgeous! 2019-2029’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 92-94/100 (Dec 2016)

‘This too is very ripe though the liqueur-like aromas of plum, pungent iron-inflected earth and humus are slightly fresher. This heightened sense of freshness carries over to the palate as well as there is a lovely sense of energy to the detailed and mineral-driven flavors that possess a refined mouth feel thanks mainly to the dense and fine grain of the tannins on the palate coating finish. This is really very good and worth considering. 2023+‘ - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com, 92/100 (Apr 2017)

‘Good dark red. Aromas of black cherry, violet and licorice. Densely packed and sweet, with its concentrated black fruit and licorice flavors complicated by saline minerality. No hard edges here. Finishes with intriguing saline minerality and very good length and cut.’ - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90-92/100 (Dec 2016)
