This gentle approach results in a wine that is elegant, complex, and balanced. The wine is characterized by its bright acidity, subtle fruit flavors, and a long, smooth finish. Overall, Domaine A. et P. de Villaine La Fortune Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise is a must-try for wine enthusiasts seeking to sample the 'Who's Who' of Burgundy.
