Bourgogne Côte-Chalonnaise Red "La Fortune" 2022 | Wine from Domaine de Villaine

Located in Bouzeron, at the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise, the Domaine de Villaine continues a winemaking tradition established since the Middle Ages. This estate benefits from a unique terroir, once shaped by the monks of Cluny, with vineyards planted between 270 and 350 meters in altitude on limestone soils ideal for the Pinot Noir grape variety. The estate, known for its controlled yields and respect for the terroir, produces wines in limited quantities, thus enhancing the richness and diversity of Burgundy.

The Bourgogne Côte-Chalonnaise Red "La Fortune" 2022 comes from the locality La Fortune, near the Digoine terroir, benefiting from a warm and sunny climate favorable for grape ripening. This wine is distinguished by its expression of vibrant red fruits and a harmonious softness due to the youth of the vines. Compared to the Digoine cuvée, La Fortune offers a more fruity and accessible profile, perfect for tasting in the first years after bottling.

Upon opening, the nose reveals generous aromas of crushed strawberries and fresh red fruits. The palate is fresh, juicy, with a nice acidity that supports a harmonious ensemble. The fine tannins give the wine a smooth and elegant structure, ending with a crisp and pleasant finish.

This Bourgogne Côte-Chalonnaise Red pairs ideally with white meats, grilled poultry, and mild cheeses like comté or brie, except for soft cheeses and very aged ones. Served at around 16°C, it reveals all its freshness and fruity character, perfect for meals with friends or intimate dinners.
