Domaine de VILLAINE
Mercurey Les Montots Village red

It is in Bouzeron (the first village in the south of the Côte de Beaune) that Aubert de Villaine, emblematic co-owner and manager of La Romanée-Conti, lives and works as a winegrower in his estate acquired in 1971. Assisted since 2003 by his nephew Pierre de Benoist, he practices the same high-flying viticulture as at La Romanée-Conti, combining tradition, openness, purity, rigour and organic farming (since 1986). Thank you to Mr. de Villaine for defending with the same passion the elite Burgundy and the artisan Burgundy. Domain rated one star in the 2020 Revue du Vin de France guide.

Vinous (N. Martin): 90/100 "The 2024 Mercurey Les Montots is quite backward on the nose, but as winemaker Pierre de Benoist suggested, you have to imagine this in four or five year's time. The palate is dense and quite structured for a Mercurey, classic in style with pepper and cloves that infuse the red fruit. Fine depth on the finish, yes, this is a Mercurey worthy of short-term cellaring."
