Presentation
Our Domaine is a family-run estate located in Meloisey (a village with a wine-growing tradition 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 belonged to the Thevenot family. Through his marriage to the family's only daughter, Mr. Mazilly became the successor and Pierre Mazilly expanded 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. Ay

Tasting
Deep cherry red dress, purple with garnet reflections, then a bouquet carried on small black and red fruits, as well as on flowers. The body is discreetly tannic, full-bodied. It preserves its fruit. Roundness and volume, balance and power in just proportions often evoke Morello cherries with a beautiful elegance.
