Domaine A et P de Villaine

Known for their iconic and delicious Bouzeron Aligoté, Aubert de Villaine purchased the original eight hectares of this domaine in 1971, the same year he took over management of Domaine de la Romanée Conti.

Aubert's nephew Pierre de Benoist has been the winemaker since 2000. The quality of the Aligoté grape in Bouzeron was the attraction and Pierre has not only developed his own passion for the variety but has started a nursery to maintain the homogenous expression of the grape in the Bouzeron terroir.  Since then the vineyard holdings have expanded to 21 hectares of which 10 are planted in Aligote. Located in Bouzeron, nestled in the Côte Chalonnaise region between Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay to the north and Rully and Mercurey to the south.
