Notes:

Pavelot indicated that the yields for this wine in 2010 were only 20 hl/ha. A somber and very backward nose of dark berries, cassis, plum and wet stone introduces impressively rich, cool and pure flavors that brim with dry extract before concluding in a mouth coating, long, mineral-inflected and overtly austere finish. This robust yet refined effort will need the better part of a decade to arrive at its apogee as it's very tight and firm at present. Burghound 92 Sweet Spot Outstanding!

View From the Cellar(Savigny-ls-Beaune aux Guettes - Domaine Pavelot) The 2010 Guettes is the most refined and complex wine in the lineup to this point (whether or not this is a function of its malo ending a little earlier here or a reflection of the greater elegance inherent in the terroir of Guettes I am not sure!), as the wine offers up a really lovely nose of black cherries, a touch of plum, dark berries, coffee bean, woodsmoke, gamebirds, a lovely base of soil and a dollop of new wood. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied and nascently complex, with a fine core of fruit, ripe tannins and a very long, focused and tangy finish. High class juice without a doubt in this vintage! (Drink between 2020-2050) 92-93 points
