Domaine de Villaine - Rully - Les Saint-Jacques 2019
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 Saint-Jacques comes from vines located at the foot of the hillside, facing east. The vine is planted with selections of Chardonnay chosen for their moderate yields from an old vine in the Côte-d'Or. It is recommended to drink it between 2 to 6 years after bottling.
Grape variety: 100% Chardonnay
