Rully 1er Cru red “Les Champs Cloux” 2021 | Wine from Domaine de Villaine

The Domaine de Villaine, located in Bouzeron, in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise, perpetuates an ancient wine tradition. Nestled between Santenay and Mercurey, this estate benefits from an exceptional terroir shaped by the monks of Cluny since the Middle Ages. Specializing in the Aligoté grape variety, the vines on hillsides at 270-350 meters above sea level benefit from limestone soils and a warm microclimate, ideal for optimal ripening of the grapes. The Bouzeron AOC, renowned for its small surface area and controlled yields, remains a little-known treasure of Burgundy.

The Rully 1er Cru red “Les Champs Cloux” 2021 from the Domaine de Villaine comes from the Château du Château hillside in the heart of Rully. This ideal climate for Pinot Noir benefits from exposure conducive to the ripening of the grapes, producing a dense and high quality wine, initially fruity and energetic in its youth. After 8 to 10 years, it evolves towards complex aromas worthy of great Burgundies. To be enjoyed at a moderate temperature, this wine reveals a pleasant fruity expression on the nose despite a slight initial reduction. On the palate, it offers a fruity intensity balanced by a luminous freshness, supported by a discreet woodiness, creating a harmonious aromatic whole. It is recommended to aerate it before tasting and to savor it within 3-5 years to fully appreciate its vibrant youth.
