Domaine du Pavillon

The domaine covers 19.5 hectares, with vineyards across some of the Côte de Beaune’s most renowned appellations, including Meursault, Pommard, Volnay, Corton and Corton-Charlemagne, with holdings in some of the region’s finest vineyard sites. The estate itself includes vineyards, a winery, cellars and an 18th-century manor surrounded by walls. Almost 4 hectares are dedicated to the domaine’s production of Pommard Clos des Ursulines monopole. Organic viticulture is practised throughout the estate, while the winery was modernised in 2016, allowing individual parcels to be vinified separately and with greater precision.

Viticulture

Domaine du Pavillon follows organic viticultural practices, with close attention paid to soil health and the natural balance of each vineyard. The estate’s wines have been certified organic since the 2018 vintage. Its vineyards cover a wide diversity of Côte de Beaune terroirs, making parcel-specific vineyard management particularly important. Yields are carefully controlled and grapes are harvested according to the needs of each site, with the objective of producing wines that combine ripeness and concentration with the freshness and precision of their individual appellations.

Winemaking

Grapes are hand harvested and carefully sorted on arrival at the winery. White wines undergo alcoholic fermentation and ageing on fine lees, with 50% in stainless-steel tanks and 50% in oak barrels, including 20–35% new oak, for 10 to 16 months. Red wines undergo fermentation and maceration in temperature-controlled wooden or stainless-steel vats for 18 to 21 days, followed by 16 to 18 months in oak barrels, with 15–50% new oak. This tailored approach preserves freshness, precision and the character of each terroir.
