Tasting notes
(100% destemmed but Pavelot does not crush his grapes; 25% new oak): Dark red-ruby. Very pure, high-pitched aromas of violet and minerals. Juicy, dense and backward; in a distinctly stony, mineral-driven style, with its fruit in the background; much saltier and more backward than the Lavières. Showing limited sweetness but this very concentrated wine boasts noteworthy length.

The 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Guettes has a very refined bouquet with perhaps more mineral expression than the Les Lavières, if not quite the degree of luxuriousness. The palate is very refined, the entry almost understated, but there is a crescendo of flavors as it fans out with black cherries, boysenberry and a pinch of spice towards the finish. Given the substance on display here, it would not surprise me if this gives drinking pleasure over 12-15 years.
