2012 Jean Marc Pavelot


"excellent quality but not much of it. Our yields were off 40% but that's the way it goes some years. The wines are concentrated and powerful but balanced and one either likes that style or one doesn't." -- Jean Marc Pavelot

"For my part I found the Pavelot '12s to be outstanding" - Allen Meadows, Burghound

"Sometimes it can be a hindrance when wines are uniformly good. As I quipped to Hugues Pavelot, a writer prefers to use a sliding rule of adjectives rather than synonyms for “excellent”. But I had no other recourse tasting through a scintillating set of Savigny-les-Beaune wines from quite possibly the village’s finest producer."
Neal Martin The Wine Advocate

We are extremely excited to offer a set of what we feel represent some of the best wines and certainly best values to come out of the outstanding but very small 2012 Vintage in Burgundy.

2012 Jean Marc Pavelot Savigny-les-Beaune Blanc...$32.99
The single white is the 2012 Savigny-les-Beaune Village, sourced from two parcels in “Les Vermots” and “Les Planchots”. It has a perfumed bouquet with enticing dried mango, fresh pineapple and peach scents wafting gently from the glass. The palate is soft but generous on the entry. Well-balanced with lush pineapple and lime notes coming through towards the waxy textured finish, this should be delightful once in bottle.

Rated 88-90/100 The Wine Advocate

2012 Jean Marc Pavelot Savigny-les-Beaune Rouge...$31.99
The 2012 Savigny-les-Beaune Village has a radiant bouquet with red currant and quince aromas that are nicely defined. The palate is smooth right from the start with a mixture of red and black fruit, sappy ripe tannins and a touch of white pepper sprinkled over the succulent finish. This is very satisfying for a village cru. 
Rated 88/100 The Wine Advocate

2012 Jean Marc Pavelot Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode...$55.99 750ml
2012 Jean Marc Pavelot Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode...$111.99 Magnum
The 2012 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru La Dominode has an elegant, almost ethereal bouquet with floral notes, more rose petal than violets infusing the exceptionally pure mixture of red and black fruit. The palate is crisp and pointed on the entry: dark cherries, citrus lemon and blood orange all vying for attention, with an assertive grip on the focused, mineral-rich finish. Stunning. 
Rated 93-95/100 The Wine Advocate
2012 Jean Marc Pavelot Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Guettes...$45.99 750ml
2012 Jean Marc Pavelot Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Guettes...$23.99 375ml
The 2012 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Guettes has a refined, very feminine bouquet with laser-like precision, cut from the similar fine cloth as the Serpentieres. The palate errs towards the red fruit spectrum. The acidity is just perfectly judged lending this Savigny entrancing precision and focus. This is simply outstanding. 
Rated 93-95/100  The Wine Advocate



2012 Jean Marc Pavelot Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Gravains...$49.99

The 2012 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Aux Gravains has another bright, vivacious bouquet with dark cherries, wild strawberry and blood orange overlaying some fine mineralite. Again, there is wonderful definition and vigor in situ. The palate is medium-bodied with a marine-influenced entry – hints of seaweed/iodine informing the dense black fruit. This has very good substance with a long, complex, mineral laden finish. Superb. 
Rated 92-94/100 The Wine Advocate


2012 Jean Marc Pavelot Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Peuillets...$42.99
The 2012 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Peuillets comes from a half-hectare parcel planted in 1954. It has a lifted, marine-influenced bouquet that is well-defined and fresh, already offering enticing blueberry and cassis aromas. The palate is very well-balanced with fine tannins and well-judged acidity. It is very harmonious towards the silky finish with a tingle on the tongue after the wine has departed. Excellent. 
Rated 88-90/100 The Wine Advocate
