The 2022 Savigny-lès-Beaune La Dominode 1er Cru, one of Jean-Hague Pavelot's favorite cuvées this year, has a generous bouquet of black plum, raspberry, and a touch of pressed white flowers emerging with time. Very well-defined and focused. The palate is medium-bodied with slightly edgier tannins than other Premier Crus - maybe a bit more angular at the moment, yet that lends plenty of tension towards the finish that fans out beautifully.
