Bourgogne Côte-d'Or Pinot Noir "Le Pavillon"

It is in the Côte d’Or, at the heart of winegrowing Burgundy, that the region's most prestigious wines are produced. In order to bring these exceptional terroirs into the spotlight, the additional geographical denomination "Côte d’Or" was created in 2017.
The Bourgogne Côte d’Or wines have stricter production regulations than the Bourgogne wines (lower yields, same density of planting as for village wines, vineyards located exclusively in the Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits).
Our Bourgogne Côte d'Or Pinot Noir "Le Pavillon" is crafted from grapes hailing from two plots located in the village of Meursault: the first is found at the entrance of the village along the same axis as an old road built by monks linking the hospital in Meursault - a historic building - with the Cîteaux Cross, while the second is on the other end of the village in the direction of Puligny-Montrachet.
