From our Importer: The verb guetter means to watch over, a reference to this vineyard’s high altitude. The poor soils in this parcel often result in the lowest yields of all the vineyards for the domaine. In the vineyard, grass growth is allowed but limited with regular plowing to maintain a natural soil balance. Moderate use of organic fertilizers and strict pruning to control yields. Green harvest only when necessary.

The annual production is from 625 to 670 cases.

For four generations the Pavelot family has farmed a little less than 12 hectares predominantly in Savigny Les Beaune but with a few holdings in Beaune and Corton. The majority of vines are between 200 and 400m elevation and the Pavelots make few blends - they want to express individual terrors as much as possible. Called "overachievers who tower over their neighbors" by the Wall Street Journal, the wines rarely see more than 30% new oak.

100% de-stemmed, short pre-fermentation cold maceration, extraction both by punch-down and pump-over. After pressing, light settling, 12-18 months’ élevage on fine lees in barrel (0-30% new), no fining, light filtration.

Noteworthy: One the most tenured Domaines in the Becky Wasserman & Co. Portfolio, forever one of our favorite bargain burgs. Hugues runs the show as of several years now, and was recently joined by his younger brother, Pierre-Yves.
