A Prestigious Family Heritage
Located in Bouzeron, Burgundy, Domaine de Villaine is the passion project of Aubert de Villaine, co-director of the renowned Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, and his wife Pamela. Established in the 1970s, the estate embodies a family winemaking tradition dedicated to excellence and respect for the terroir. The de Villaine family is committed to producing authentic wines that reflect the richness and diversity of Burgundy's vineyards.
A Unique Terroir in Bouzeron
Nestled in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine de Villaine benefits from an exceptional terroir. The clay-limestone soils of Bouzeron provide ideal conditions for cultivating Aligoté, the emblematic grape of the appellation. The vines, organically farmed, are nurtured to fully express the distinctive character of this terroir. This environmentally friendly approach ensures high-quality grapes, essential for crafting exceptional wines.
Authentic and Balanced Wines
Domaine de Villaine is particularly renowned for its Bouzeron, a white wine made exclusively from Aligoté Doré. This wine stands out with its brilliant golden hue and delicate aromas of white flowers and stone fruits. On the palate, it offers notable minerality, refreshing acidity, and remarkable length. This cuvée reflects the estate's commitment to producing wines that are true expressions of their terroir and grape variety.
Respectful and Precise Winemaking
At Domaine de Villaine, winemaking is conducted with meticulous attention. Manual harvesting allows for rigorous selection of grapes, ensuring optimal quality. Fermentations are carried out with indigenous yeasts, promoting an authentic expression of the terroir. Aging on fine lees in tanks or oak barrels is carefully managed to add complexity and depth to the wines while preserving their freshness and aromatic purity.
A Commitment to Biodiversity and Sustainability
Mindful of the importance of environmental preservation, Domaine de Villaine has practiced organic viticulture since its inception. No pesticides or herbicides are used, and soils are enriched solely with organic composts. This sustainable approach promotes biodiversity and vine health, contributing to the vineyard's ecological balance. This commitment to nature is reflected in the quality and authenticity of the wines produced.
