Presentation
Our Domaine is a family-run 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 belonged to the Thevenot family. Through his marriage to the family's only daughter, Mr. Mazilly became its 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.

Tasting
Its dress is deep red, dark purple ruby. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry or even violet, cherry stone, ripe plum. Maturity leads it towards leather, chocolate, pepper. A wine to let age a little so that it fully opens: round texture, delicate and assertive structure, fruity in the mouth, the tannic chew then rounding off.
Food pairings
This wine pairs perfectly with grilled or roasted red meats, such as beef fillet, roast pork, or duck breast. Braised dishes, such as coq au vin or beef bourguignon, will highlight its roundness and aromatic complexity. Aged cheeses, such as Époisses or Brie de Meaux, also beautifully complement the wine's fruity and spicy notes. For dessert, a red fruit cake or a raspberry tart would be delicious choices.
