The name "Maréchaudes" is derived from the name of a vineyard mentioned in the 13th century as "En Mareschaut", which comes from the Old French "maresche" (marshland). The lower part of Aloxe-Corton was indeed marshy due to its proximity to the source of the Lauve river. Major work was undertaken to drain the soil to make it suitable for viticulture. . "Clos des Maréchaudes" is a monopole of Domaine du Pavillon, which is extremely unique in that it boasts 2 levels of appellation, a Grand Cru and a Premier Cru, within the same 5-acre clos (walled vineyard). . The grapes in this plot tend to ripen early due to its east-southeastern exposure and its location at the foot of the hill, partly on the slope. This is one of the sunniest Climats on the hill of Corton. . This wine's sophisticated nose harmoniously combines notes of red fruit (cherry, raspberryâ¦) with subtle hints of toast and a whisper of vanilla. Fleshy and powerful on the palate, this wine expresses impressive osmosis between the richness and finesse of its terroir, and a dense, velvety tannic structure. Nice volume and remarkable length on the palate. . Winemakers Notes
