Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir

Domaine de Villaine is located in Bouzeron, nestled in the Côte Chalonnaise region between Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay to the north and Rully and Mercurey to the south. Planted with vines by the monks of Cluny in the Middle Ages, this small, sunny valley has a rich and lengthy tradition of producing quality wines which reflect their exceptional terroir.

"Les Montots" situated on a steep slope with southern exposure, yields a specific style of Mercurey red, structured and deep, with a dark ruby color. On the nose there's a complex bouquet of spice and black fruits with a touch of leather. The palate is full of energy, luscious and seductive. This is a wine that is drinking well now, but will reward 10 or even 15 years of cellaring.
