If there is a better value in Burgundy for age-worthy wines with power, class and detailed terroir, we have not tasted it. Savigny-les-Beaune is one of those under-the-radar communes that is becoming less under-the-radar every day. Producers like Pavelot, are giving this village a very defined identity. Savigny has very serious terroirs and the simple fact that it has no Grand Crus has kept it a bit out of the spotlight. If there were a Grand Cru in Savigny it would be Dominode. Here the wines are bigger, darker, spicier and age gracefully for decades.
