Domaine de VILLAINE
Bouzeron Village dry white

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.

Bouzeron, 100% golden aligoté, carries high the values of this particularly underestimated grape variety.

Vinous (N. Martin): 89/100 "The 2024 Bouzeron has a pretty bouquet with touches of rose water, tincture and peachy fruit. Très Bouzeron. The palate is fresh and vibrant. Lovely weight and a little spicier than the previous vintage, with a healthy dash of ginger, but it is the texture that disarms the senses here. Enjoy over two or three years."
