Our history
The Maiziere Family is in Burgundy since the XIITH Century, date of the foundation of the Cistercien Abbey de Maiziere.
Our ancestors were probably not monks…. but definitively were working for the monks and their beautiful Wineyard.
Pascal and Anne Maizière breathe new life into the négoce created by their father Pierre Maizière.
Pierre, a native of Meursault, moved to Beaune in 1969 and developed his request for high quality wines.
Now 87 years old, Pierre always watches over the destiny of this craftsman, but it is Anne and Pascal who are today its master craftswomen and craftsman.
Pascal and Anne select the best parcells in the vineyards to give the best wines. There are a tandem of expert in Burgundy wines.
Anne and Pascal were born in Beaune, Pascal has his certificate of oenologist and Anne has worked in wine marketing and sales for 25 years.

Vinification process
White wines
We only use pneumatic press in order to extract the juice softly.
The pressing is very precise and perfectly adapted to the very nature of each harvest.
All the steps of winemaking are as simple as possible to allow the wines to express all their character. Thus fermentation is paddingleft-wine, Wines are aged on lees and get a regular “batonnage”. This process consists in stirring the wines gently in order to enrich them with the characteristics of the vintage and the terroir contained in the lees.
Some of our wines are aged in tank some others in barrels. We only use french oak.
Red wines
The grapes are totally or partially de-stemmed before undergoing pre-fermentary cold maceration to extract color (to obtain a beautiful robe) and aromas.
The alcoholic fermentation lasts 10–18 days in an open tank with daily pigeage.
The skins are gently pressed using a pneumatic membrane press and then the malolactic fermentation takes place in oak barrels.
Ageing depends on the nature of the wine , always made in french oak.
