You wanted to deal with an LV, so the LV is what you should write, not the underlying disk as that would destroy whatever else is present -- possibly requiring that you recreate the PV and VG. So, of=/dev/mapper/vg-lv. Or as also mentioned, you might clean the old lvol before you destroy it. Again, of=/dev/mapper/vg-lv.
