Eye

Fine and deep with purple reflections, clear and bright.

Musk and spice notes are more subtle, while the fruit is well integrated, and the woodiness is refined. Its smoky aromas underscore its elegance.

Powerful with robust tannins in harmony with the wood.

The essentials

A rich and structured Aloxe-Corton, as it should be. Initial notes of spice and musk are accompanied by smoky aromas, followed by a powerful yet perfectly harmonious palate with robust tannins and subtly oaked notes. A solid and full-bodied wine, best cellared for a few years.

THE REGION

Burgundy is one of France’s main wine-producing areas. It is well known for both its red and white wines, mostly made from Pinot noir and Chardonnay grapes, respectively, although other grape varieties can be found, including Gamay, Aligote, Pinot blanc, and Sauvignon blanc. The region is divided into the Côte-d’Or, where the most expensive and prized Burgundies are found, and Beaujolais, Chablis, the Côte Chalonnaise and Mâcon. The reputation and quality of the top wines, together with the fact that they are often produced in small quantities, has led to high demand and high prices, with some Burgundies ranking among the most expensive wines in the world.[14]

ABOUT THE PRODUCER

Created in 1893 by Jean Pauvelot, the Domaine, passed down from generation to generation, has spanned centuries and eras; over the years, it has grown and evolved, without ever betraying the spirit of its founders.

Reflecting a centuries-old tradition, the wines of the Domaine are highly rooted in modernity, and reveal their finesse, enhanced by the progress of modern oenology.

Respectful work with the Burgundy terroir and the vine, its environment, delicate winemaking, aging in the Domaine’s cellars, sheltered from time, bring to the wines of Domaine Maldant-Pauvelot, breadth, power and roundness and highlight their freshness and fruity character.
