Burgundy Domaine de Villaine

Our committee's review

Best known as the co-owner of Burgundy’s most legendary estate, Aubert de Villaine also oversees a stunning property in the Côte Chalonnaise, which he has entrusted to his nephew, Pierre de Benoist.

With the same exacting standards and vineyard discipline that define his iconic domaine, he produces a beautifully precise and graceful White each year. We may not know the secret behind it, but the magic happens—every time. One thing is certain: this estate has mastered the art of Aligoté.

The 2023 vintage is no exception, offering a pure and effortless expression of both its terroir and this often-overlooked grape variety. Don’t wait too long—bottles like these are rare!

Sourced from 17 parcels of old vines on the finest slopes of the appellation, the 2023 White Bouzeron impresses with its finesse, purity, and vibrant character. The fresh, mineral-driven nose reveals delicate notes of herbal infusion and linden blossom, supported by discreet ageing that lets the terroir shine. On the palate, it’s crisp, taut, and saline, with a beautifully balanced ripeness that preserves the grape’s signature freshness and crunch. This is a brilliant, precise, and invigorating wine, already charming today but capable of aging gracefully for a decade. Rated 94/100 by the Selection Committee.

A standout cuvée crafted by a family behind one of Burgundy’s most iconic estates.
