Production Details Manual harvest, sorting of grapes upon arrival in the vat room. Fermentative maceration in thermoregulated wooden vats for 18 to 21 days. Aging in oak barrels (25 to 35% new oak) for 14 to 16 months. The name of the Climat "Maréchaudes" comes from a vineyard mentioned in the 13th century under the name "En Mareschaut", a name derived from the old French "Maresche" (marsh). The lower part of Aloxe-Corton was indeed marshy due to its proximity to the Lauve spring. Important drainage work allowed these lands to be reclaimed and planted with vines. The "Clos des Maréchaudes" is a monopole of Domaine du Pavillon, which has the rare particularity of presenting 2 levels of appellation, a Grand Cru and a Premier Cru, within the same 2 ha clos. This clos shows tendencies towards early maturation due to its east-south/east exposure and its location at the foot of the hill, partly on a slope. It is one of the sunniest Climats on the Corton hill. The Premier Cru plot is planted in the lower part of the clos. The soils there are less clayey and a little deeper than in the upper part.
