Presentation
Our Domaine is a family estate located in Meloisey (a village with a wine-growing vocation for centuries, as it is said that wine from Meloisey 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 developed 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
The Burgundy Hautes Côtes de Beaune, is a charming red wine with a dark and shiny robe. In the mouth, it reveals aromas of ripe red fruits, blackcurrant, and vanilla, accompanied by notes of leather and undergrowth. The wine is structured, with a beautiful density and length in the mouth, supported by good acidity. It is balanced and powerful, offering a beautiful complexity and structure.
Food pairings
Grilled or roasted red meats, such as a rib of beef or a duck breast, pair perfectly with this wine. Stewed dishes, such as a beef stew or a coq au vin, will highlight its complexity and tannic structure. Aged cheeses, such as camembert or reblochon, will beautifully complement the flavors of this wine. Finally, for a sweet touch, a red fruit tart or a dark chocolate cake will bring a nice harmony with the aromas of this Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune.
