About this wine
Rully's premiers crus sit on the limestone slopes of the Côte Chalonnaise, and Les Champs Cloux gives Domaine de Villaine its most structured red: Pinot Noir farmed organically, hand-harvested, fermented with a share of whole clusters and indigenous yeasts, extracted gently and aged about a year in older barrels, in the domaine's restrained, classical style. 2022 was warm and generous, and the wine has flesh without heaviness.
Expect red cherry and raspberry, rose and violet, a hint of spice, a stony, mineral core, fine tannins and a long, fresh finish. Drink from 2026 to 2034 with roast duck, 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.
