Domaine de Villaine - Mercurey Les Montots 2020
Domaine de Villaine is located in Bouzeron, north of the Côte-Chalonnaise in Burgundy. The estate was bought by Aubert and Pamela de Villaine in 1971, and has been managed since 2001 by their nephew, Pierre de Benoist. Since 1986, organic farming methods have been developed within the vineyard. The estate has several ‘climats’ in the communes of Bouzeron, Rully, Mercurey and Santenay which are planted with Aligoté, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Les Montots is made from Pinot Noir grown on the lieu-dit of the same name, on steep slopes facing south. Les Montots is a wine to keep, which will reveal finesse and aromatic complexity after 5 to 7 years.
Grape variety: 100% Pinot Noir
