Meursault Domaine du Pavillon, Albert Bichot
Domaine du Pavillon is located south of Pommard, in the Côte de Beaune. The vineyards, winery, cellar, and 18th-century manor are surrounded by a wall. The estate’s 15 hectares of vines include nearly 4 hectares of our monopole Pommard "Clos des Ursulines".
Just as at Domaine du Clos Frantin in Nuits-Saint-Georges, we practice organic viticulture with ongoing concern for the respect of the complex balances found in nature.
The winery was modernized in 2016, so that we could vinify more of the Côte de Beaune’s single vineyards, in vats of varying sizes that are perfectly adapted to the single vineyard approach that is typical in Burgundy.
Located in the heart of the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is one of the flagship villages and among the most reputed in Burgundy. In fact, Meursault is often referred to as the capital of Burgundy’s great whites. Aerial photos of the village town hall’s multi-coloured varnished roof tiles are world famous.
Our white Meursault is bright, luminous straw yellow in colour. The nose boasts a discrete touch of toast followed by elegant floral notes underpinned by fruity, light plum and pear aromas. The palate is powerful, well balanced and dense, with delicious flavours of brioche. The finish is long and very aromatic.
Ideal with fine fish, shellfish, white meats, poultry in sauce and full-flavoured cheeses.
