Burgundy Domaine de Villaine

Our committee's review

Owner of Burgundy’s most famous estate, Aubert de Villaine also has a magnificent property on the Côte Chalonnaise, entrusted to his nephew Pierre de Benoist for vineyard management and winemaking.

With the same rigor and discipline in the vineyard as at the legendary domaine he co-owns, he shapes a superb White marked by grace and precision. The secret remains his, but each year the magic works. What can be said with certainty is that this estate has become a master of aligoté.

The 2023 vintage is no exception, offering a pure and finely detailed expression of both terroir and this often-overlooked grape. Do not wait too long, bottles like this 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.
