    Pierre de Benoist meticulously farms some of the finest terroirs in the Côte Chalonnaise, allowing the individuality of each vineyard to shine through organic viticulture and gentle, low-intervention winemaking in the cellar. Among them is the Montpalais Premier Cru in Rully, distinguished by its stimulating stony minerality, which balances the dense, fleshy fruit of the Chardonnay from this specific vineyard. In the wine, you will find all the tension and energy that define the estate’s whites, but with additional depth and richness—entirely typical of a top-tier terroir such as Montpalais in the region.

    More info

    Domaine de Villaine produces a range of distinctive wines from Premier Cru vineyards in Rully. In Montpalais, you will find perhaps the most dramatically expressive balance between ripe fruit and freshness. Highly attractive on the nose, it shows broad aromatic range with almost exotic fruit notes and beautifully integrated hints of oak. The wine is vinified and aged in a combination of old barrels and 600-litre demi-muids. On the palate, it is powerful, with fleshy, juicy fruit and fresh mineral tension. It could easily be mistaken for a more exuberant example from the northern Côte d’Or.

      Penetrating tensions with beautiful oxidation supported by notes of citrus peel and candied lemon. Give it time to open up and it will throw a party of aromas with saffron and curry, tobacco leaves, nuts such as walnuts and roasted almonds, and earthy notes of truffle. Full of umami on the palate, minerality reminiscent of peat and shellfish, intense...
