Presentation
Located at the very heart of the Côte de Beaune, Meursault is one of Burgundy's flagship villages and among its most celebrated It is cited as being the capital of Burgundy's great white wines. The diversity in the soil type and depth and the nature of the slope has a significant influence on the wines. Though they are always magnificently opulent, some may feature varying expressions of minerality.
Such is the case of our Meursault Domaine du Pavillon, a wine crafted from grapes hailing from 3 plots with very different, though complementary characteristics.
