Savigny-Les-Beaune, Burgundy For generations, the Domaine Jean-Marc et Hugues Pavelot based in Savigny-Les-Beaune, Burgundy was handed from father to son, thus ensuring the expertise that made its reputation for fine Burgundy wines with Savigny tradition. The property covered 12 hectares divided into different climates. Located in the CĂ´te de Beaune, this vineyard encompassed two hills and the valley between them. The grape varietals, Pinot Noir & Chardonnay, gave the wines different outcomes depending on the soil, exposure (south, southeast, northeast) and altitude, between 220 and 360 metres as the small plots were separate. This geographical diversity was reflected in each of the appellations. Below is the plot called Les Peuillets classified as Premier Cru.
Savigny-Les-Beaune 1er Cru "Les Peuillets" 2009 Domaine Pavelot – 100% Pinot Noir A truly Premier Cru Pinot Noir in the heart of Savigny-Les-Beaune. Les Peuillets plot is 0.45 ha, and each year only 2,700 bottles of Pinot Noir are produced. To ensure its Premier Cru quality, its vines are at least 55 years old. Located at the bottom of the hill, on a moderately deep soil, & consisting of pebbles in a red earth. Having colours of deep ruby, this classic Pinot Noir wine is velvety, expressive, & charming with its finesse & intense fruit notes and has long delicate finish. In the great tradition of Pinot Noir, this wine is very representative of Savigny. It can keep well, & yet enjoyed in its youth and freshness. With limited quantities, what you hold in your hand is something to savour and appreciate.

Chablis & Petit Chablis, Burgundy The Vilain family has been cultivating vineyards and making wine in Chablis for generations. The Domaine de Chaude Ecuelle (meaning "hot bowl") owes its name to the tradition of vineyard workers warming up their meals in terra-cotta bowls out in the vineyards, because many of the Estate's vineyard plots were located far from the Domaine itself, which is often the case in Burgundy. The soil of Chablis is made up of clayey limestone marls called kimmeridgian (dating 150 million years ago). Fossils were frequently found in the soil, among them small oysters, indicating the presence of salty waters long time ago. This probably explained the mineral and slightly salty characteristics of the wines of Chablis that so delicately suit fish and shellfish.
Chablis 1er Cru 2008 Domaine De Chaude Ecuelle – 100% Chardonnay This Premier Cru Chablis has subtle aromas, both mineral and floral. On the palate, the full flavours of citrus fruit hits you, followed by the smooth after-taste of acacia blossoms and honey. Its flavours are generous and linger in the mouth. It can be kept from 5 to 12 years. Best at 12° to 14°C, it is perfect when served with foie gras, fish sauces, white meat and poultry. A worthy Chablis Premier Cru.

It is great to serve it with starters, particularly with oysters, all types of fish and shellfish, charcuterie, gruyère and goat's cheese.
Petit Chablis AOC 2010 Domaine De Chaude Ecuelle – 100% Chardonnay A crisp, balanced wine, this Petit Chablis can be enjoyed young & fresh from 1 to 4 years.

Bourgogne & Hautes Côtes de Nuits, Burgundy Domaine Remoriquet which started in 1890 has been lovingly managed by four generations of Remoriquets. With 10 hectares of different appellations, they were Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Nuits, Nuits St Georges, Nuits St Georges 1er Cru and Vosne Romanée 1er Cru. Henri is now retired and the son Gilles has taken over for more than 20 years already. His wines were huge & meaty examples & were all produced from vineyards bordering between Vosne Romanee and Nuits St. Georges. Like any fine Burgundian producers, Gilles believed in creating wines utilizing the non-interventionist techniques in harmony with its terroir. He did not fine or filter, and bottling were done by hand. He used as little sulphur as possible, and the wines were aged in 100% new barrels. And to create exquisite wines, the vines had an average age between 25 to 60 plus years.
