2010 Domaine Jean-Marc Pavelot Savigny-lès-Beaune Les Narbantons 1er Cru

Good ruby-red. More perfumed on the nose than the Guettes, offering aromas of redcurrant, graphite and spices. Lusher in texture too, coating the palate with sappy dark berry and bitter chocolate flavors framed by harmonious acidity. Finishes broad, dense and long, with dusty tannins and a late note of bitter chocolate. A bit more muscular than the Guettes but not at all rustic.
