Dressed in a deep garnet robe with velvety reflections, the Aloxe-Corton Domaine du Pavillon 2023 - Albert Bichot stands in the grand tradition of Côte de Beaune reds. Made exclusively from Pinot Noir, this wine is driven by the artisanal exacting standards of Maison Albert Bichot and by the setting of Domaine du Pavillon in Pommard. The luminous 2023 vintage reveals a finely chiseled bouquet of red and black fruits, supported by elegant floral notes and subtle spice. Hand-harvested, subjected to extended maceration and then aged in oak barrels with a measured proportion of new oak, it delivers broad texture, finely edged tannins and a finish that stretches out with assurance. At the table it celebrates robust cuisine, elevates roasted meats, tames game and converses with matured cheeses. Beyond the present, it promises attractive development in cellar through 2030 and further depending on storage, gradually revealing the nobility of its terroir.

Assemblage et vinification

This Burgundy red is made from Pinot Noir hand-harvested on the Aloxe-Corton AOC terroirs. An extended maceration, around 18 to 21 days, promotes delicate extraction of colour and tannins while preserving the brightness of the fruit. The élevage lasts 14 to 16 months in oak barrels, with approximately 20 to 30 percent new oak, to bring complexity and definition without ever masking the grape's identity. This precise approach, combining technical rigour and sensitivity, gives the wine its structure, aromatic depth and balance. Domaine du Pavillon, part of Albert Bichot's heritage, carefully oversees juice selection and élevages to achieve a clear signature, quietly modern and authentically expressed.

Notes de dégustation

• Appearance : Deep garnet, clear and bright, with deep ruby highlights reflecting excellent Pinot Noir ripeness.
• Nose : Dominant black cherry and blackcurrant, then nuances of peony, violet, delicate undergrowth and fine spices. Discreet oak evokes cocoa bean and sandalwood.
• Palate : Broad, upright attack, a core of juicy fruit, ripe polished tannins. The balance marries restrained power with lively sapidity, finishing long, spicy and mouthwatering.

Température de service et conseils

Serve the Aloxe-Corton Domaine du Pavillon at 15 à 16°C in Burgundy-style glasses to promote bouquet opening and to embrace the texture. Gentle aeration, 30 minutes before serving, helps harmonise the fruit with the élevage notes. Store bottles on their side, protected from light, between 12 and 14°C with stable humidity. The wine can be enjoyed young for the purity of its fruit and the finesse of its structure, or cellared until 2030+ to reveal more tertiary complexity, toward fine leather, truffle and warm spices.
