Domaine Pavelot Savigny-lès-Beaune 375ml 2022

Domaine Pavelot Savigny-lès-Beaune is a village-level Pinot Noir from the Côte de Beaune, here in a half bottle.

Jean-Marc Pavelot ran this family property for many years before handing over to his son Hugues, and it is one of the reference estates of the village. Vines sit on both sides of the valley that cuts through Savigny, on limestone scree and iron-rich soils that give more grip than the village's easy-drinking reputation suggests. This cuvée draws on younger, lower-slope parcels, hand-picked, mostly destemmed and fermented on wild yeasts in open-top vats with gentle extraction. Ageing in used barrels lets the fruit come through unmarked.

Fresh red berries, a touch of earth and fine tannin. The 375ml size is ideal for one, or a short dinner for two; serve at 15–16°C with duck, mushrooms or roast pork.

*Every effort is made to ensure the current vintage is accurate; however, variations can occur. If you are after a specific vintage, please contact us prior to ordering.

Grilled Salmon with Cherry-Balsamic Glaze

Ingredients:

• 2 salmon fillets (approximately 200g each)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted (or thawed frozen cherries)
• 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
• 1 tbsp honey (optional)
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon for 3–4 minutes per side until just cooked through. Remove from the pan and keep warm.
