Presentation
The MAILLARD Estate was created in 1766 but it was not until 1952 that it finally settled in Chorey-les-Beaune. Starting from a few plots of land exploited by Daniel MAILLARD, the estate has expanded to cover 19 hectares spread over 7 villages: Chorey-les-Beaune, Savigny-les-Beaune, Beaune, Ladoix-Serrigny, Aloxe-Corton, Pommard, Meursault, and Volnay. Today, the Estate is managed by Pascal MAILLARD, Daniel's son, representing the tenth generation. It produces a wide range of wines by practicing sustainable farming for years.
