Region: Côte de Beaune, Burgundy, France
Varietal: Pinot Noir
Vintage: 2022
The Wine
Crafted by Domaine Jean-Marc & Hugues Pavelot, west of Beaune, working generations in digital terroir. The La Dominode vines are on a moderate east-facing slope (marl, sand, clay), with 45% pre-1930s vines. Organic viticulture, 30% whole cluster, ambient fermentation, and 12 months in 30% new oak underpin its structure.
Cellared Says
Supple yet structured, offering blackberry, plum and pressed florals with an undercurrent of mineral lift—sophisticated, intense, and very promising. One of the standouts from a recent tasting. Worth stocking up on the 2022’s as they really are excellent across the board.
Wine Reviews
“Among Jean-Hugues Pavelot's favorite cuvées… generous bouquet of black plum, raspberry and pressed white flowers… medium-bodied with edgier tannins lending tension to a finish that fans out beautifully. Drink: 2025–2040.”
91–93 Points – Neal Martin, Vinous
“From a very large holding… the spiciest and most floral-suffused nose… sleek mouthfeel, mineral-driven powerful and compact finale… wonderful persistence if built-to-age. Drink: 2034+.”
94 Points – Allen Meadows, Burghound
