Les Clous Aimé (formerly called Les Clous) comes from seven different plots of Chardonnay located in the Bouzeron appellation area. The vines are planted with Chardonnay grapes chosen for their moderate yield. From old vines and a predominantly limestone terroir, Les Clous Aimé presents in its youth a very pure and mineral character and after 5 to 7 years reveals the finesse and complexity of its aromas.
Domaine de Villaine was established in 1971 by Aubert and Pamela de Villaine, also co-directors of Romanée‑Conti . Located in Bouzeron, Côte Chalonnaise, it became a benchmark for golden Aligoté, earning its own Bouzeron AOC in 1998 . The estate cultivates multiple grape varieties (Aligoté, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir), choosing sites by soil: Aligoté on limestone slopes, Chardonnay on clay . Winemaking emphasizes large oak vats with lees aging and minimal intervention . The result: terroir-driven wines that are vibrant, fresh and salivating, beautifully expressing the water and minerality of their ancient marine soils .
The place called La Fortune benefits from soil, climate and exposure that are very favorable to Pinot Noir. The vine being young, La Fortune is a very fruity wine, open, but more relatively tender.
Le Clos du Roy once belonged to the Kings of France. It was considered one of the best plots in the appellation. The Faiveley family acquired it in 1971. This wine could be compared to a village in the Côte de Nuits for the finesse of its tannins and its length in the mouth.
On their rock terrace, the Musigny and the Petits Musigny overlook the Clos de Vougeot, facing the rising sun. There was a Gallo-Roman settlement there whose owner was called Musinus, he gave his name to what would become one of the most prestigious terroirs in Burgundy. Ten owners now produce Musigny Grand Cru, Faiveley is the smallest with only 3 "ouvrées"
The name of this 1er cru, a monopoly of Domaine Faiveley, probably comes from the English “My Land”, the name given to these places by an English dignitary. This clos produces a powerful, straightforward and balanced wine. 2021 is a fresh and balanced vintage. The volumes are low but the quality is exceptional.
The Chambertin Grand Cru from Domaine TRAPET is 1.90 hectares spread over 3 plots, the oldest of which was planted in 1919. This Chambertin wine opens up an infinite, unlimited, elusive universe, one of the richest there is!
