Producer

Occupying an impressive nineteenth-century building in Savigny-Lès-Beaune, Henri de Villamont is a medium-sized producer that combines an enviable domaine (they are particularly strong in Chambolle-Musigny) with a meticulously sourced négociant range. The cuverie was updated with the latest equipment less than ten years ago, and underneath there is ample storage for barrels in the beautiful double-height cellar. These features give the winemaker flexibility and precision, resulting in excellent expression of the various terroirs on offer, which include some particularly well-sited vineyards.

Vineyard

The grapes come from vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet planted on claylimestone soils. The grapes were harvested by hand.

Winery

The wine was fermented and aged for twelve months in oak barrels, with thirty percent new wood. The wine underwent full, natural malolactic fermentation in barrel.
