The domaine applies its usual method here, with no heavy extraction and no marked new oak, for a Mercurey finer and more digestible than the appellation average.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe domaine was founded in 1971 at Bouzeron by Aubert and Pamela de Villaine. 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 Mercurey Les Montots\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 2024\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 Deep ruby\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black cherry, blackberry, peony, spices, earthy note\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Structured but without hardness, tight and fine tannins, fresh and long finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eServing and cellaring\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe this Mercurey Les Montots at 15 to 16 °C.
