Mid red, evolving slowly. A fine stylish raspberry fruit with useful uplift from well managed acidity. A stylish and balanced wine. Star rating ****

Healthy medium red. More musky on the nose than the Serpentières, with its raspberry fruit complicated by notes of smoke and earth. Quite suave in texture but a bit more medicinal than the Serpentières--less sweet and accessible today. This savory, classically dry Savigny conveys an impression of brooding power and finishes with substantial tannins that will require patience. Will it eventually show the fruit of the Serpentières?

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.

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!
