Presentation
Our Domaine is a family estate located in Meloisey (a village with a wine-growing tradition for centuries, as it is said that Meloisey wine was served at the coronation of Philippe-Auguste in 1180) in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune for several generations. Until 1948, the estate belonged to the Thevenot family. Through his marriage to the family's only daughter, Mr. Mazilly became the successor and Pierre Mazilly expanded the estate. After studying at the Beaune wine school, Frédéric Mazilly, Pierre's son, returned to work on the estate in 1977. Over the generations, the succession continues, and the estate grows with new plots.

Tasting
It shows a deep, bright ruby robe. It develops aromas of small black and red fruits, pepper, and licorice. Well-balanced on the palate, it reveals notes of black fruits, spices combined with a structure with noble and velvety tannins.
Food pairings
This wine, with its notes of ripe red fruits and undergrowth, pairs perfectly with grilled or roasted red meats, such as a beef tenderloin or duck breast. Braised dishes, such as beef bourguignon or leg of lamb, will highlight its complexity and beautiful tannic structure. Aged cheeses, such as an Epoisses or a Comté, will bring perfect harmony with its fruity and spicy flavors. Finally, for a sweet pairing, a red fruit tart or a chocolate fondant will create a delicious marriage with the aromas of this Pommard.
