Burgundy | Bouzeron<br />

Domaine de Villaine<br />

Aubert de Villaine, heir to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, and co-director<br />

since the 1960s, is the man behind this project. In the 1970s, Aubert and<br />

his American wife, Pamela, took over a run-down estate in Bouzeron, one<br />

of the last forgotten enclaves of Burgundy, situated between Chassagne-<br />

Montrachet, Santenay, Rully, and Mercurey.<br />

Bouzeron boasts the best Aligoté in Burgundy:<br />

the Aligoté Doré. Unlike the lesser clone, Aligoté<br />

Vert, Aligoté Doré gives smaller yields to produce<br />

more refined wines with expressive aromatics and<br />

greater equilibrium. Nowadays, Pierre de Benoist,<br />

Aubert’s nephew, runs the domaine, upholding the<br />

sense of tradition, excellence, and standards for<br />

which it has become so well-known.<br />
