Description
Maillard Père et Fils are a moderately-sized family producer based in Chorey-Les Beaune, with 19 hectares across a number of appellations including Corton, Beaune and Aloxe Corton.
All their vineyards are farmed organically, although are not certified.
Chorey-les-Beaune is quite a flat region just on the outskirts of Beaune, with close proximity to the Grand Crus of Corton and Corton-Charlemagne.
The wines are humble (in both style and price point); light, soft, early-drinking reds but with more intensity and structure than a standard Bourgogne AOC.
A beautiful nose leads to a palate with hints of Morello cherry and raspberry, with delicate savoury, earthy undertones and a touch of vanilla.
