Domaine du Pavillon

Enclosed within its historic walls are the estate’s vineyards, winery, cellars and an elegant 18th-century manor house. The property encompasses 19.5ha of vines, including nearly 4ha of the estate’s prized Monopole: Pommard ‘Clos des Ursulines’.” As at Domaine du Clos Frantin in Nuits-Saint-Georges, organic viticulture is practised with a constant focus on preserving the natural balance of the ecosystem. The winery was completely modernized in 2016, allowing for the vinification of more single-vineyard plots from the Côte de Beaune. Vats of varying sizes were introduced, perfectly tailored to Burgundy’s terroir-driven, single-vineyard approach. Beginning with the 2018 vintage, the wines of Domaine du Pavillon, like those from the group’s other estates in the Côte-d’Or and Mercurey, carry official certification as organic wines.

Viticulture

The estate produces wines from some of the Côte de Beaune’s most respected crus, showcasing both depth and diversity. At its heart is the Pommard Clos des Ursulines Monopole, a rare, walled vineyard of almost four hectares dedicated to Pinot Noir, known for wines of structure and character. The domaine also owns the Corton Grand Cru Clos des Maréchaudes Monopole, a unique walled site whose wines beautifully balance richness with finesse. White wines are led by Corton‑Charlemagne Grand Cru, planted in the Languettes climat on the sun‑exposed slopes of Corton, producing powerful yet refined expressions. In Meursault, three parcels totalling 3.3 hectares deliver wines that are rich and complex while retaining freshness, while Aloxe‑Corton, including Les Crapousuets, contributes intense aromatics and supple tannins. The portfolio is completed by outstanding Premier Cru vineyards such as Beaune Clos des Mouches, Pommard Les Rugiens, Volnay Les Santenots and Meursault Les Charmes. All vineyards are organically farmed, with certification from the 2018 vintage, reflecting the estate’s commitment to sustainable and responsible viticulture.

Winemaking

At Domaine du Pavillon, winemaking is an art of precision and respect for nature. In the cellar, gentle, hands-off techniques are used to capture the purity of the fruit and the subtle expression of each terroir. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled wooden vats, often with native yeasts, allowing the wine to ferment naturally and authentically. Wherever possible, gravity—not machinery—guides the wine’s journey, preserving its elegance and integrity. Each cuvée is aged with precision in carefully selected oak barrels, adding depth and complexity without masking the wine’s true character. The result? Wines that are organically grown, expertly crafted, and beautifully expressive—offering a true taste of Burgundy, vintage after vintage.
