Domaine de Villaine is located in Bouzeron, the first village of the Côte Chalonnaise south of Beaune, between the villages of Santenay in the Côte d'Or and Rully and Mercurey in the Côte Chalonnaise. As early as the Middle Ages, the monks of Cluny planted vines in this small, sunny valley, which enjoys an exceptional terroir. The vines are grown exclusively on the slopes, between 270 and 350 metres in altitude. The poor soils with a high limestone content on these slopes ensure good control of yields and the warm microclimate favours the ripening of the grapes. The very small size of the appellation makes AOC Bouzeron one of the "secrets" of Burgundy.
