Aubert de Villaine, the emblematic co-owner and manager of La Romanée-Conti, lives and works in Bouzeron, the first village south of the Côte de Beaune, on his Domaine acquired in 1971. Assisted since 2003 by his nephew Pierre de Benoist, he practises the same high-flying viticulture as at La Romanée-Conti, combining tradition, openness, purity, rigour and organic cultivation (since 1986).

Domaine rated one star in the Revue du Vin de France guide, and named one of the top 5 producers of 2021 by the magazine Bourgogne Aujourd'hui.

The philosophy of Domaine Desvignes is simple: respect tradition. Hence a culture without weedkillers, "old-fashioned" vinification and rather long maturations in cement vats only. The result is great structured morgons with a subtle and accomplished structure, and a keeping capacity worthy of the great Burgundies (10 years and more).

Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

L'Aube à Javernières is a perfect entry-level Desvignes on a parcel of 0.84 ha on the edge of the Morgon appellation (Côte du Py), a frank Beaujolais, easy to drink but with a very present background.

The estate's four greatest cuvées (Javernières, Côte du Py, Javernières Aux Pierres and the most famous, Les Impénitents) all come from the Côte du Py climat. These Morgons combine the richness of Gamay with exceptional depth and length. Fleshy wines, made for laying down.

Georges Vernay was once known as the “Pope of Condrieu”, resurrecting this appellation from a mere 7 ha in 1960 to almost 200 ha today. Since 1997, his daughter Christine has continued his work step by step, converting the entire vineyard to biodynamic viticulture and creating new cuvées (Les Terrasses de l'Empire, Maison Rouge, Blonde du Seigneur...) for better parcel management.

Rated three stars in the Revue du Vin de France guide.

Les Terrasses de l'Empire is the archetypal Condrieu “on the fruit”, with inimitable aromas of white peach, apricot kernels and pruned almond. To be enjoyed young, for its pleasant freshness and finesse.

Blonde du Seigneur is an alliance of power and delicacy: a voluptuous, smoky wine with black fruit, olive and pepper, enhanced by a floral component provided by Viognier (5%).

It is François Chidaine who, since 1989, has sounded the awakening of Touraine wines and given the white Chenin its letters of nobility. Biodynamic since 1999, his wines show a crystalline purity and a vibrancy that are a reference... with prices that are just as exemplary.

Clos du Breuil, slender and saline, comes from 60-year-old vines on a flinty clay terroir.

Clos Habert is a ''half sweet'' wine (11.9 g/L residual sugar), with fleshy fruit (Williams pear), a smooth palate and elegant freshness.

This is the domain which, by its passage into biodynamic viticulture and its parcel selections, shows the most beautiful qualitative progression of the Loire Valley. Crystalline Chenins and ripe Cabernet Franc, all matured with mastery to sublimate the purity and identity of the juices, between tension, crispness, refinement and generosity. In white as in red, a dazzling and flawless range.
