Single Vineyard – "Le Rouard"
Le Rouard is a vineyard where Chardonnay grapes thrive perfectly in the unique climate and soil of Côtes de Nuits. The long aging in French oak barrels and the unfiltered nature give the wine an unmatched depth and complexity.
Mature and Ready-to-Drink Burgundy
One of the unique aspects of Château de Villars Fontaine is their focus on bottle aging, where wines are given several years of aging in bottle before being released to the market. This means that you are getting a wine that is mature and ready to drink when you open it, offering the full experience of Burgundy. The 2009 vintage is an excellent example of this – a wine that has beautifully developed and is now offering an extraordinary tasting experience.
Château de Villars Fontaine has been a renowned winery for many years, but over time, the name has changed to Domaine de Montmain. However, the older vintages are still bottled under the name Château de Villars Fontaine, like this 2009 vintage, providing the opportunity to find rare and mature Burgundy wines from this estate.
