Description

The Domaine du Pavillon Meursault comes from an esteemed estate owned by historic Burgundy Negociant Albert Bichot.  This tremendous wine is classic Meursault,  elegant and supremely silky initially, with white flowers and subtle toasty oak on the nose.  The palate is rich and generous with an impeccable balance of freshness and fruit.  Long and silky on the finish, this wonderful wine is one to be savoured. 

Sourced from three distinct vineyard parcels in the heart of Meursault, this Chardonnay is grown on calcareous clay soils containing white marls. The estate’s 3.30-hectare holding is planted with vines averaging 35 to 40 years of age. The differing soil depths, slope characteristics and terroirs of the individual plots contribute layers of richness, complexity and minerality to the finished wine.
The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully sorted before gentle pressing to preserve fruit purity and vineyard expression. Alcoholic fermentation is followed by extended ageing on fine lees, allowing the wine to develop greater texture, complexity and aromatic depth while retaining freshness and balance. Matured on fine lees in French oak barrels for 14 to 16 months, with 20% to 30% new oak. This ageing regime contributes subtle toast, texture and complexity while maintaining the elegance and character of the Meursault terroir.
Located south of Pommard, Domaine du Pavillon is Albert Bichot’s flagship Côte de Beaune estate. 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. 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.
Founded in 1831, Albert Bichot is an independent, family-owned House now managed by the sixth generation, Albéric Bichot. Since then, they have consistently developed a unique position in Burgundy, combining the expertise of a historic négociant with the authenticity of its own vineyard holdings.

The grapes for the Lete Vautrain Brut 204 are harvested by hand and sorted prior to fermentation at a cool temperature, and ageing on lees takes place for a minimum of 36 months.  The wine shows a lovely deep golden hue in the glass with apple, peach and apricot fruit complemented by dried fruits and classic biscuity notes.  A well balanced, complex and rounded Champagne that is the perfect aperitif style.
