Chorey-Lès-Beaune 2023 – Domaine Maillard Père et Fils

Domaine Maillard Père et Fils is a historic family estate located in Chorey-lès-Beaune, Burgundy, France. Founded by Daniel Maillard in 1952, the domain continues to be managed by Pascal Maillard, the tenth generation of his viticultural lineage, which dates back to 1766. The estate manages 19 hectares across seven villages, including Chorey, Savigny, Beaune, and Aloxe-Corton.

This 2023 vintage is a red wine made from 100% Pinot Noir. The grapes come from vines approximately thirty years old, planted in clay-limestone soils on the plain at the foot of the Côte. Following traditional Burgundian winemaking practices, the wine undergoes ageing primarily in used oak barrels. It presents a dark purple color with violet reflections and has an alcohol content of 13.5%.

On the nose, the wine exhibits aromas of black fruit, specifically blackberry, alongside red fruits such as raspberry and cherry. These are complemented by notes of pepper and licorice. The palate is characterized as powerful, featuring tannins that are present yet soft. It offers a body that balances robustness with finesse and elegance, resulting in a structured but approachable profile.

For serving, this wine should be enjoyed at 16–17°C. It pairs well with a variety of dishes, including starters, red and white meats, game, mushrooms, international cuisine, cheese, and fruit-based desserts. The overall character is that of a serious, traditional Burgundian Pinot Noir, offering depth and complexity.
