About this wine
Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise is the regional appellation for the hills south of Chagny, and Domaine de Villaine bottles it by lieu-dit: La Fortune, a parcel of Pinot Noir on clay-limestone near Bouzeron. Organic farming since 1986, hand harvest, a share of whole clusters, spontaneous fermentation, gentle extraction and around a year in older barrels: the methods of a domaine run for decades by the co-director of Romanée-Conti and today by his nephew Pierre de Benoist.
2022 was warm and generous in Burgundy. Expect red cherry and plum, a spicy, earthy note, a rounded palate with fine, ripe tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now to 2031 with roast poultry, a beef bourguignon or a mushroom dish.
About Domaine de Villaine
Domaine de Villaine is the family estate of Aubert de Villaine, co-director of Romanée-Conti for four decades, and his wife Pamela, in Bouzeron in the Côte Chalonnaise. Farmed organically since 1986 and run today by their nephew Pierre de Benoist, it made Bouzeron the only village appellation for Aligoté and produces some of the most precise reds and whites of the Côte Chalonnaise: Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise from named lieux-dits like La Fortune and La Digoine, Mercurey and Rully premiers crus. Whole-bunch shares, native yeasts, long élevage in old wood and a classical, unshowy style that rewards a few years in the cellar.
