Why shop with us?
Domaine de Villaine’s 2023 Mercurey Les Montots is a Pinot Noir shaped by a south-facing vineyard, offering generous cherry fruit balanced by lively freshness and firm tannins. Its use of whole-cluster fermentation adds structure and spice, giving this Côte Chalonnaise red both immediate appeal and potential to develop in bottle.
Tasting Notes
Cherry and raspberry lead the aromatic profile, with delicate spice adding complexity. On the palate, ripe red fruit is framed by firm tannins and refreshing acidity, keeping the wine energetic and balanced.
Production
Les Montots is a south-facing vineyard in Mercurey, whose exposure contributes to the wine’s generous fruit character. The 2023 vintage was fermented with 60% whole clusters, lending additional structure. The available production details do not specify harvesting methods or the vineyard’s soil composition.
Food & Serving
Serve with game dishes or mature, firm cheeses, allowing the fruit and tannins to complement richer flavours. Try it at around 16–18°C; a short decant of 30–60 minutes can help the tannins open up, particularly when enjoying the wine young.
Producer
Domaine de Villaine is based in Bouzeron in the Côte Chalonnaise and is known for wines that express the character of their Burgundy appellations. The estate was founded in 1971 by Aubert and Pamela de Villaine; Aubert is also known for his long association with Domaine de la Romanée-Conti.
