Domaine de Villaine

Domine de Villaine from Domaine

Partner estate

The Domaine de Villaine is located in Bouzeron, the first village of the Côte Chalonnaise south of Beaune, between the villages of Santenay in Côte d'Or and Rully and Mercurey in Côte Chalonnaise.

As early as the Middle Ages, the monks of Cluny dressed with vines this small sunny valley which enjoys an exceptional terroir. For centuries, wines with a strong personality have been produced here, notably from the Aligoté grape variety.

The vines are cultivated exclusively on hillsides at an altitude of between 270 and 350 metres. The thin soils with a high limestone content on these slopes ensure good yield control and the warm microclimate favours the ripening of the grapes. The very small surface area of the appellation makes the AOC Bouzeron one of the "secrets" of Burgundy.
