Burghound 89-92 points. "Extremely ripe nose stops short of being jammy though there is a whiff of prune. Excellent energy, fresh, sleek, tautly muscular flavors, dense, powerful and very serious plus they deliver superb depth and length."

Domaine Jean-Marc & Hugues Pavelot is a benchmark producer in Savigny-lès-Beaune, known for crafting deeply structured, long-lived wines. La Dominode, a top Premier Cru site, comes from old vines planted on iron-rich soils, giving it both power and finesse. The 2015 vintage was warm and generous, yielding a wine that has now settled into a perfect balance of fruit, earth, and savory complexity.

Dark cherry, plum, and dried cranberry lead the way, with layers of damp earth, mushroom, and a touch of baking spice. The tannins have softened into a silky texture, but the wine still carries great energy, thanks to its bright acidity and mineral backbone. Drinking beautifully now, it’s an ideal match for roasted duck, mushroom risotto, or anything with a bit of umami depth. A classic, soulful Burgundy that shows just how good Savigny can be with a little patience.

BH 92

"two-thirds of the vines are between 70 and 80 years of age and the remaining vines are approximately 20+ years old). An extremely ripe nose stops short of being jammy though there is a whiff of prune. Otherwise there is excellent energy to the fresh, sleek and tautly muscular flavors that are dense, powerful and very serious plus they deliver superb depth and length on the slightly warm finish. This is a wine that has impressive underlying material but the nose concerns me and thus it’s hard to project how this will fare with age as it risks becoming heavy. That said, there are enough positive attributes present that my predicted range offers the benefit of the doubt."

AG 91

"Bright, deep red, the darkest of these 2015s. Very pure and ripe but youthfully bound-up nose hints at kirsch, licorice and bitter chocolate. Densely packed and impressively thick, with its flavors of black cherry, licorice and herbs given punch by good peppery verve. This firmly structured Dominode is seriously tight today but the tannins are refined and the long, subtle finish offers captivating violet lift. The most impressive of these 2015s, but lay it down for a while." -Vinous

Robert Parker

RP 94

"The 2015 Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Les Dominodes is cut from the same cloth as the Aux Gravains, albeit with more floral scents and more red fruit. It is just as beautifully defined and seductive though. The palate is medium-bodied with silky smooth tannin, superb mineralité, immense cohesion and energy that spills over on the chalky-textured finish. This is (yet another) outstanding 2015 from Domaine Pavelot who frankly has done little wrong this vintage."

Jancis Robinson

JR 17

"Tank sample. Old vines. 40% are 80 years old. 30% new oak. This wine did especially well in a tasting organised by the magazine Bourgogne Aujourd’hui. Exotic, heady nose. Big, sweet and hedonistic. Chewy end. Very youthful. Good for the future."
