Presentation
Our Domaine is a family estate located in Meloisey (a village with a wine-growing tradition 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 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. Aymeric

Tasting
The Gevrey-Chambertin, La Platière, Rouge is a powerful red wine with a dark and shiny robe. In the mouth, it offers aromas of ripe red fruits, blackcurrant, and undergrowth, with a slightly smoky note. The wine is structured, with melted tannins and a beautiful length in the mouth, supported by a freshness and harmony that make it an excellent choice for aging.
Food pairings
Grilled or roasted red meats, such as a rib of beef, a duck breast with cherries, or a leg of lamb with herbs, pair perfectly with this wine. Braised dishes, such as beef bourguignon or coq au vin, will highlight its complexity and tannic structure. Aged cheeses, like brie de Meaux or reblochon, will bring a beautiful harmony with the flavors of this wine. Finally, a dessert with red fruits, such as a raspberry tart or a cherry clafoutis, will create a perfect sweet pairing.
