Presentation
The Domaine MAILLARD Père et Fils was created in 1766 but it was in 1952 that it finally settled in Chorey-les-Beaune. Starting from a few plots worked by Daniel MAILLARD, the estate has expanded to 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, practicing sustainable agriculture for many years.
Location
0.19 hectare plot.
Terroir
The soil foundation is made up of marly limestones and marls from the Middle and Upper Jurassic periods. These are brown soils mixed with pebbles and gravel from hard limestones.
In the vineyard
Traditional with plowing, green harvesting, leave 6 to 7 clusters per vine.
Harvest
After a manual harvest, 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 tank for vinification.
Winemaking
This one lasts 12 to 15 days at controlled temperature with 1 to 2 punch-downs per day. When the winemaking process is complete, the wine is put into a tank to rest for a few days.
Ageing
Aging in 228-liter barrels, 75% of which are new, for 18 months. Bottling after a light filtration to preserve the wine's full character, aroma, structure, and length on the palate.
