Presentation
Maison Aymeric Mazilly is a winery located in Burgundy, France. Founded in 2004 by Aymeric Mazilly, it specializes in the production of great white wines from the Côte de Beaune. The Mazilly family has been rooted in the region for several generations. Pierre Mazilly took over the family estate in the 1950s, and his son Frédéric and grandson Aymeric have continued the tradition1. The estate covers some 19 hectares, mainly in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, but also in prestigious appellations such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Pommard, Volnay and Meursault. The wines produced by Maison Aymeric Mazilly are renowned for their quality. The red wines are fruity with a well-controlled woodiness, while the white wines are rich, balanced and structured.

Tasting
Clos du Bois Prévôt red reveals a bright ruby robe with violet highlights, typical of cool-climate Pinot Noir. The nose opens with vibrant aromas of fresh red fruits, griotte cherry, raspberry, enhanced by deeper notes of blackcurrant and a hint of licorice. The palate is supple, lifted by a fine acidity and delicate tannic structure. The wine remains light, balanced, with a subtly spicy finish recalling forest floor and white pepper. A precise, sincere wine with a distinctly Burgundian elegance.
Food pairings
This structured yet delicate Pinot Noir pairs beautifully with slow-cooked lamb shoulder with rosemary or roasted pork tenderloin with red fruit sauce. It also shines alongside mushroom risotto or a Provençal vegetable tian, which highlight its vegetal and spicy nuances. For cheese pairings, go for a well-aged Tomme, Brillat-Savarin, or a slightly warmed Époisses to enhance the wine’s aromatic depth without overpowering its finesse.
