A mild touch of reduction is not enough to fully mask the aromas of ripe essence of black raspberry and earth where the latter element can also be found on the supple and appealingly textured medium-bodied flavors that terminate in a dusty but not really austere finale.
Serve at 14-16 °C with duck dishes, lamb ribs or beef tartare. Also, mullet with boletus or lobster are wonderful companions for this wine.
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. Here, vines are grown exclusively on the slopes : the nutrient-poor, limestone-rich soil allows precise yield control, while a warm microclimate favors ripening of the grapes.
