Presentation
Domaine Pansiot is located in Corgoloin, at the southern end of the Côte de Nuits, at the crossroads between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune. Founded in 1981 by Éric Pansiot from 4 hectares of family vineyards, the estate has gradually expanded with a strong sense of continuity and transmission, further strengthened by the arrival of Émilie Pansiot in 2005.
Today, the domaine farms around 21 hectares across several emblematic Burgundy appellations, from Gevrey-Chambertin to Meursault, including Beaune, Chorey-lès-Beaune and Savigny-lès-Beaune. This diversity of terroirs shapes a range of wines that remain true to the identity of each origin.
The wines stand out for their clarity, balance and aromatic precision. The style favours purity of fruit, natural elegance and a true sense of harmony. Guided by a family-driven approach and a strong connection to the vineyard, Domaine Pansiot embodies a sincere, refined and approachable expression of Burgundy.
Location
This Bourgogne Pinot Noir Côte d’Or 2023 from Domaine Pansiot comes from parcels located between the Côte de Nuits and the Côte de Beaune, mainly around Corgoloin. This transitional location combines the structure of northern wines with the suppleness of southern expressions. The vineyards benefit from varied exposures, allowing for even ripening of Pinot Noir. This setting brings a natural balance between freshness, fruit and approachability. It results in a wine that is both generous and well defined.
Terroir
The soils are mainly clay limestone, with varying proportions of clay and stones depending on the parcels. This diversity helps produce balanced grapes that are both fresh and expressive. Limestone brings tension and aromatic precision, while clay contributes roundness and texture. This terroir produces an accessible Pinot Noir focused on fruit, with a supple structure. It reflects a clear and faithful expression of its origin.
In the vineyard

Yields are controlled to ensure concentration and consistency. Careful monitoring of each parcel allows precise intervention when needed. This approach encourages healthy grapes and a true expression of the terroir.
Harvest
The grapes are harvested when Pinot Noir reaches a good balance between ripeness, freshness and tannin quality. The harvest is carried out with care to preserve the integrity of the berries. Careful selection ensures only healthy and expressive fruit is kept. The 2023 vintage offers generous and balanced fruit. This stage is essential to guarantee aromatic purity. It defines the wine’s finesse and drinkability.
Winemaking
Vinification is carried out to highlight fruit and the natural suppleness of Pinot Noir. Extraction remains gentle in order to maintain an accessible and elegant texture. Cellar work focuses on balance and precision.
