Domaine A. Et P. de Villaine, Aligote, Bouzeron

GRAPES VARITETIES: Aligote

TASTING NOTES: More floral than fruity but remains very fresh, thanks to the acidity present. This liveliness, as always, is generated by the particular marl-limestone soils of Bouzeron. Rich, round and lively at the same time, the mouth feel oscillates between richness of the fruit, roundness generated by a good maturity and a saline presence.

FOOD PAIRINGS: Aperitif | Seafood | Fish | White Meat, Phở | Phở Cuon


BRAND NAME: Domaine de Villaine

Domaine de Villaine is located in Bouzeron, nestled in the Côte Chalonnaise region. Planted with vines by the monks of Cluny in the Middle Ages, this small, sunny valley has a rich and lengthy tradition of producing quality wines which reflect their exceptional terroir. In 1971, when Aubert de Villaine came to Burgundy to take charge of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, he set up home in the village of Bouzeron and began to put together a private domaine independent of DRC. The Domaine began conversion to organic farming in 1986, becoming certified in 1997.
