Crafted by the same de Villaine family of the legendary Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.
2021 Domaine de Villaine Bourgogne Rouge...$77.99
This is a wine of true elegance, with a light ruby hue, bright, perfumed cherry fruit, fresh acidity, and tannins that seem slightly astringent. It is light in weight but very expressive. The wine is produced from a drastic shortening of the range: it blends all the grapes that generally make up four bottlings: La Fortune, La Digoine, Mercurey Les Montots, and Santenay PC Passetemps. Six barrels were produced instead of the customary twenty. Each was vinified separately and blended together, an exercise the director Pierre de Benoist hopes never to repeat.
Rated 92/100 Decanter Magazine
