There have been Pavelots tending vines in Pernand since the 17th century, so village records tell us. Today, this 9.5-hectare estate is run by sister and brother Lise & Luc Pavelot, following in the footsteps of father Régis and grandfather Maurice. Most of their vines are in their home village of Pernand-Vergelesses, where they make magnificent First Growths, both white and red, as well as brilliant Corton-Charlemagne, not to mention cutting edge Passetoutgrains and village-level bottlings.
The Domaine has been certified organic since 2009, but no chemical weed-killers had been used for many years prior to then. The soils are tilled by plough, and manually, with occasional, green cover-crops, and green-harvesting of grapes, if necessary. Organic composts are the only fertiliser.
Harvesting is by hand, and this is one of the few Domaines in Burgundy where the grapes are gently carried in traditional, wicker shoulder-baskets down the rows. The philosophy of the Domaine may be summed up as a constant reflection on how to ensure the health of their soils – and hence their vines and wines – with respect for the plant and human environment.
The wines have succulent fruit, with structure, freshness and the gentlest of tannins, for the reds. The whites show beautiful harmony. Both colours represent superb value, some for early drinking, some for mid-term ageing.
