Tasting notes
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! Dec 2016, www.robertparker.com, Drink: 2019-2029

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. Apr 2017, www.burghound.com
