Domaine du Pavillon

Côte de Beaune

Level

AOC Premier Cru

Grape variety

Pinot noir

Aloxe-Corton is a renowned village located in the northern part of the Côte de Beaune. Beyond it lies the Côte de Nuits.
Our plot, which faces east-southeast, lies at the foot of the hill of Corton on a gentle slope.
The soil is deep and contains a considerable proportion of gravel, which lends the wine volume and structure in addition to great finesse.

Tasting

This wine's intense nose allies notes of ripe red fruit (cherry, raspberry...) and spices with a delicate whisper of oak. On the palate, this wine reveals nice body, which is supported by bold yet fine tannins. The finish is long and flavourful, reminiscent of the fruit found on the nose.

Food/wine pairing

Taste this wine with roasted or stewed meats (beef, duck, pork, game), or medium to mature cheeses.
Recipe suggestion: spice-crusted beef tenderloin
