Jean-Marc Pavelot, Savigny Beaune Guettes Rouge other_regions_italy and then again from bottle(the vineyard is quite stony with very little top soil). Here the nose is similar but more reserved and offers just a bit more overt minerality that also characterizes the firm, precise and pure flavors that possess so much extract that it confers a textured character to the vibrant and exceptionally persistent finish. This is a focused effort that exhibits controlled power and a lovely sense of underlying tension. Worth a look as this is quite good.
