LOCATION: The CHOREY-LÈS-BEAUNE WHITE cuvée from Domaine Maillard is a rarity, as over 90% of the appellation is planted with Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay plots are primarily located on the lower slopes of Chorey-lès-Beaune, in the plain area extending eastward from the village.
EXPOSURE: East-facing. Ideal for capturing the morning freshness while enjoying consistent sunshine without the excessive heat of the afternoon.

SORTING: In the vineyard.
WINEMAKING: The grapes undergo gentle, low-pressure pneumatic pressing to extract the highest quality juice. After a few hours of static settling (débourbage) in vats, the must is transferred into 228-liter barrels. Both alcoholic and malolactic fermentations, as well as the aging process, take place entirely in oak.
AGING: 10 months in 228-liter barrels (20% new oak), with regular lees stirring (bâtonnage) during maturation, which grants the wine its characteristic roundness and richness.
BOTTLING: After fining and filtration.
CLOSURE: Natural cork.
"The 2023 vintage plays the freshness card and presents great aromatic richness: fresh citrus and white stone fruits, complemented by a touch of toasted notes. It offers a full and vibrant mouthfeel; this white wine is as beautiful and intense as ever!"
