Score 93-95/100 · Neal Martin, Jan 2017

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.

A very densely fruited nose only grudgingly reveals liqueur-like aromas of plum, dark pinot and plenty of earth elements. There is once again a beguiling sense of energy to the even more mineral-driven if less muscular flavors that display the classic youthful austerity of a fine Gravains, all wrapped in a balanced, long and complex finale. In contrast to several wines in the range, this is going to require some bottle age before it's completely ready for prime time. Apr 2017, www.burghound.com, Drink: 2025+
