This prestigious Beaune Premier Cru 2022 signed by Domaine Mazilly is a great success.
This famous Beaune red Premier Cru comes from the place called "Les Boucherottes". The vines of the plot are south-east-facing, at the foot of the Saint Désiré mountain, on the edge of the Pommard first growths, with a slope of 5 to 15% and an altitude of 250 to 300m, stony clay-limestone soil.
This Beaune is a flattering and elegant wine with aromas of ripe red fruits, with a palate that is both structured and velvety.
Still recent, the wine will of course benefit from being kept, even if 2018 is considered a vintage that can be drunk fairly quickly.

Wine Characteristics
Small differences appear, depending on the exact location. Wines from the Northern end of the commune are more often intense and powerful, and those from the southern end are smoother and fuller.
Red: this wine has a striking and vivid colour - a luminous scarlet, introducing aromas of black fruits (blackcurrant, blackberry) and red (cherry, gooseberry), as well as humus and underbrush. When older, it is redolent of truffle, leather, and spices. In youth, it charms the palate with the taste of crunchy fresh grape. Firm, upright and full of juice, it evolves with time, revealing a solid and absolutely convincing structure.
White: this wine boasts a silky gold colour, flecked with green. It has a bouquet of almond, dried fruits, bracken, and white flowers. It may be enjoyed either young “on the fruit” or later for its mouth-filling mellowness.
Wine Steward’s Tip
Red: fleshy and generous, the Beaune reveal great aromatic power and solid texture which inevitably partners them with musky and very firm meats such as feathered game, roasted or braised. Cheeses: choose Époisses,
Soumaintrain, Munster, Maroilles...
Serving temperature: 15 to 16°C.
White: their flowery freshness makes them a marvelous match for poultry and veal in creamy sauces, fish tajines, sushi, and grilled sea-fish. When older (and fleshier) they enfold and tame cheeses such as Cîteaux, Comté, and certain goat cheeses.
Serving temperature: 12 to 14°C.
Situation
A burgundian icon and capital of Bourgogne’s wine trade, Beaune takes centre place on the world stage during the annual Hospices de Beaune wine auction.
The Hôtel-Dieu, built in the Flamboyant style, the huge silent cellars of the négociants houses, and the wine-growing domaines of the district all attract countless visitors. The Beaune vineyards are among the most extensive of the Côte. From here comes the Pinot vermilion of the Dukes of Bourgogne- a red wine, aromatic and full of fire, whose reputation goes back to the late Middle Ages. The whites, less common, make the best use of soils suited to the Chardonnay grape.
The BEAUNE AOC was established in 1936.
Terroirs
In the synclinal of Volnay the Comblanchien limestone disappears into the depths to be replaced by the overlying Rauracian. The slopes are quite steep and the soil (scree-derived black rendzinas) thinnish. On the lower slopes are Argovian marls and deep soils, white, grey or yellow, tinged with red from the iron in the Oxfordian limestone. At the foot of the slope, limestones are mixed with clay. Exposure: east to due south. Altitudes: 220 to 300 metres.

Estate
Domaine Mazilly
Burgundy has been the cradle of the Mazilly family for several generations.
In the early 1950s, Pierre Mazilly succeeded his grandfather. His son Frédéric and grandson Aymeric have taken up the torch and continue the family tradition. The Mazilly family takes care of all stages of production itself, from the work in the vineyard to bottling, in order to always offer high quality wines.
The premises are located in Meloisey, a small village in the Hautes-Côtes de Beaune region with a winemaking tradition for centuries, and it is even said that Meloisey wine was served at the coronation of Philippe-Auguste in 1179.
Since 2001, most of the wines have been aged and aged in the cellars located in Meursault.The estate's vineyards, 18 hectares in total, are mainly located in the Hautes Côtes de Beaune, but also in renowned appellations such as Gevrey-Chambertin, Pommard, Volnay or Meursault...
