Chassagne Montrachet wannabe for those of us who can’t afford the good stuff. Very well done w/all the prototypical trappings of White Burg - plenty of oak that’s for sure - elegant and delicious — 9 months ago

Absolutely love this producer. Maybe the best in the entire Mâcon. The rully blanc is pure and citrus driven with a salinity that won’t quit. Oyster shells on the nose as well as essential oils. Turns out the rouge is ‘rully’ good as well! Bright red fruits on the nose,
Super clean and fresh with some width to it as well. These are priced like every night wines but deliver like something that is a real treat — 2 years ago

Typical Pinot Noir barnyard on the nose and much more delicate taste of raspberry and minerals than the initial smell would suggest. This should be left alone for a few years to develop — 8 years ago

Just wow. 45 on the list. Hello France. Rich in the Coche style but insane Aligote acidity. So sappy and pure. Amazing aromas. So complex and ripe but energetic and linear. — 10 months ago

2021/4. I feel like de Villaine’s Chardonnays have a bit more depth and savor than they did a decade ago - and they were certainly good then. This was lovely, with lots of fresh fruit and acidity but some sneaky stone, butter and hazelnut lurking. — 3 years ago

Solid non-oaked though high minerality Chardonnay. This was the perfect start to a great dinner at Botanist; so great we ordered a second bottle. The perfect kick-off to Jessica's 40th — 6 years ago

Cherry. Cherry in the glass may be less interesting than the Vasees. Gains weight in the glass over time now more earthy and forest floor berries rating goes up. — 8 years ago

Although 2013 and very very young consuming at a restaurant we got to enjoy it a lot more as the time passed and it was decanted. This will be a beauty - shame but still lovely! — 9 years ago

2022/8. As I’ve noted lately, it feels like the de Villaine whites have added another level in the last several years - deeper, more complex and more satisfying, without sacrificing any joyousness and without trying to be Meursault or anything like that. — 2 years ago
