Domaine de Villaine Rully Rouge 1er Crus Cloux 2021
$156.00
Aubert de Villaine is a reluctant legend. Co-owner of Domaine de la Romanée Conti, one of the judges at the “Tasting of Paris,” and owner of today’s allocations from Domaine de Villaine which is nestled in the Côte Chalonnaise (smack dab between Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay to the north and Rully and Mercurey to the south), Villaine has spent a life quietly dedicated to excellence in farming and winemaking.
Domaine de Villaine has been the perfect vehicle for Aubert to explore his love of winemaking over the past few decades without the international reputation (and prices) of DRC. Today, the domaine is run by Aubert’s nephew Pierre de Benoist, who shares his uncle’s love of organic agriculture and terrior driven winemaking. The wines they make are pure Burgundy and still offer an exceptional value in a category that rarely sees any.
This whole cluster Pinot has a slight reductive quality on opening but opens up in to something deeply textured and dense but still elegant. The racy acidity brings out the delicate earthy, floral, and fruity flavors that are there in abundance. Drink now or cellar for the next 10 years. Let it breathe before tasting to get the most out of it.
