2021 A. & P. DE VILLAINE Rully 1er Cru "Les Champs Cloux" rouge

Domaine A. & P. de Villaine, co-founded by Aubert de Villaine (co-owner and legendary former director of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti), brings the same uncompromising commitment to organic viticulture and Burgundian finesse to the Côte Chalonnaise as the premier estates of the Côte d'Or. "Les Champs Cloux" is a prestigious Premier Cru parcel located in Rully, characterized by red clay-limestone soils on a gentle, south-facing slope. The 2021 vintage was defined by cool growing conditions and tiny yields, resulting in Pinot Noir of extraordinary tension, aromatic purity, and structural precision. Vinified with partial whole-cluster fermentation and aged in neutral oak, this Premier Cru rouge is an exceptionally lacy, vertical red Burgundy that demonstrates the height of balance and longevity available in Rully.
