Domaine De Villaine Rully 1er Cru Montpalais comes from a young vine already cultivated organically. Like all the Premier Crus of the Rully appellation, it is located in the heart of one of the best exposed slopes of the Appellation, in the south-east. This typicality of the terroir gives wines with a frank and fruity character, sometimes mineral but always possessing a fine and dense bouquet.
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 .
In the Côte des Vaillons, there are 8 distinct lieux-dits which may be at the origin of this appellation. The nose is pronounced with notes of fruit and flowers, beautiful freshness and minerality. The palate is generous and refined, with a beautiful roundness.
Domaine De Villaine Bouzeron 2022 comes from Aligoté vines located on the best slopes of the Appellation. Since settling in Bouzeron in 1973, the estate has selected the very old Bouzeron vines of so-called "golden" varieties which give smaller yields and finer aromatic wines.
Vine approximately 50 years old. Made exclusively from free-run wine, this wine shows silky and fine tannins, retaining a power typical of its original terroir. Cavée Privée Edition of only 60 bottles.
The origin of the name of the appellation remains uncertain. This could possibly be an ancient form of pear trees. Located to the south of the village, the climate of "Porêts" can be compared to that of "Saint-Georges" in a slightly more rustic style. As early as 1855, this place was considered one of the best in Nuits by Doctor Lavalle. This vineyard is of great importance...
