WINE DESCRIPTION
Domaine A. et P. de Villaine La Fortune Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise is a red wine produced by Aubert de Villaine, who is perhaps most famous for being a director of the fabled Domaine de la Romanee Conti. The wine is made from grapes grown in Côte Chalonnaise, which is known for a riper expression due to its more southerly location. The winemaking process focuses upon gentle extraction for a plush mouthfeel, and 12 months maturation in mostly old oak for texture. 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.
