Presentation
Our Domaine is a family estate located in Meloisey (a village with a wine-growing vocation 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 was owned by 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 expands with new plots. Ay

Tasting
The Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune, Blanc is an elegant white wine with a pale and shiny robe. In the mouth, it offers delicate aromas of white fruits and flowers, accompanied by a beautiful minerality. The wine is balanced, with a fresh acidity and a well-defined structure, making it an excellent choice to accompany a variety of light and tasty dishes.
Food pairings
Seafood such as fresh oysters, pan-seared scallops, and grilled shrimp will perfectly highlight its freshness. Grilled or lightly sauced fish, like sole fillet with white butter or dill salmon, will also pair beautifully with this wine. White meats, such as herb-roasted chicken or veal in lemon sauce, will subtly complement its aromatic notes. Fresh goat cheeses, like Crottin de Chavignol or Valençay, will highlight the finesse of this wine. To finish on a sweet note, caramelized apple tart or pear clafoutis will harmonize perfectly with its fruity flavors.
