Presentation
The Domaine MAILLARD Père et Fils was created in 1766 but it was in 1952 that it finally settled in Chorey-les-Beaune. From a few plots worked by Daniel MAILLARD, the estate has expanded to now cover 19 hectares spread over 7 villages: Chorey-les-Beaune, Savigny-les-Beaune, Beaune, Ladoix-Serrigny, Aloxe-Corton, Pommard, Meursault and Volnay. Today, the estate is managed by Pascal MAILLARD, Daniel's son, representing the tenth generation. It produces a wide range of wines while practicing sustainable farming for years.
Location
1.36 hectares.
Terroir
The soil base is made up of marly limestones and marls from the Middle and Upper Jurassic period. These are brown soils mixed with pebbles and hard limestone gravel.
In the vineyard
Traditional with plowing, green harvesting, leaving 6 to 7 clusters per vine.
Harvest
After manual harvesting, the sorting and selection of the best bunches is carried out. Bunches that lack maturity or are damaged (botrytis) are systematically separated and destroyed. Thus, only the best bunches are put into the vat for vinification.
Winemaking
This one lasts 12 to 15 days at a controlled temperature with 1 to 2 punch-downs per day. When the winemaking process is finished, the wine is put in a tank to rest for a few days.
Ageing
Aging in 228-liter barrels with 40% new barrels for 18 months. Bottling after a light filtration to preserve all the wine's character, aroma, texture, and length on the palate.
