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 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 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. Aymeric
