92-94 Neal Martin - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"The 2012 Savigny-les-Beaune 1er Cru Les Lavieres offers an entrancing bouquet that is floral in nature at this early stage, with plenty of dark cherries, cassis and incense notes emerging from the glass. The palate has a sorbet-like freshness on the entry that almost distracts you from the fine tannic lattice that defines the finish. This is a very sophisticated Savigny for long-term aging."

89-92 Stephen Tanzer - Vinous Media

"Good dark red. Perfumed aromas of black cherry, licorice and violet; more refined than the foregoing examples. Energetic and firmly built, with intense dark fruit, espresso and saline mineral flavors spreading out to saturate the mouth. Finishes tactile, vibrant and long, with an element of peppery herbs. The Pavelots bought these vines in 2010." (01/14)
