Presentation
Our Domaine is a family estate located in Meloisey (a village with a wine-making 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 grows with new plots.

In the vineyard
The work in the vineyard is done in the Burgundian tradition: short pruning, controlled yields, plowing, sustainable farming to obtain a healthy, rich, and concentrated harvest.
Winemaking
The harvested grapes are pressed to obtain the must, which is cooled to 5-6 degrees, settled, and then put into barrels.
Ageing
The white musts ferment in French oak barrels of 330 liters with a proportion of 20 to 30% of new barrels. During aging, several times in the winter, stirring is carried out.
