It would not exist without the persistence of Aubert de Villaine, who argued for more than twenty years that this grape variety deserved better than kir. The appellation was recognised in 1997. Here the domaine works Aligoté doré, an old selection, finer and less productive, on the marl and limestone slopes above the village. The result is a taut, saline white, far more capable of ageing than one imagines.

It has been farmed under certified organic agriculture since the late 1990s, which makes it one of the first conversions in the region, well before the subject became common. Pierre de Benoist, nephew of Aubert de Villaine, is in charge of technical management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe method is constant from one cuvée to the next: manual harvesting, indigenous yeasts, very measured extraction on the reds, and ageing in barrels that are very largely old. The domaine does not seek the taste of oak but the legibility of the terroir. That is what explains why its wines often seem lighter than their neighbours when tasted, and yet age better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe whites\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBouzeron\u003c\/strong\u003e is the emblematic wine, in Aligoté doré. \u003cstrong\u003eLes Clous Aimé\u003c\/strong\u003e is the domaine's Chardonnay in Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise, from a high lieu-dit with lean limestone soils.

Aubert de Villaine co-managed the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti from 1974 to 2022, and applied here, in the Côte Chalonnaise, the same demanding standards as at Vosne-Romanée. The vineyard, of around twenty hectares, has been farmed under certified organic agriculture since the late 1990s, one of the first conversions in Burgundy. Pierre de Benoist, Aubert's nephew, is in charge of technical management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e France, Burgundy, Côte Chalonnaise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppellation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rully 1er Cru Cloux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDomaine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Domaine A. et P. de Villaine, in Bouzeron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrape variety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pinot Noir 100 %\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red wine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eViticulture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Certified organic agriculture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 75 cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAppearance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pale and vivid ruby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Morello cherry, raspberry, rose, white pepper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elegant and fresh, fine tannins, persistent finish on fruit and stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and cellaring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe this Rully 1er Cru Cloux at 15 to 16 °C.
