Domaine A. & P. de Villaine Description
Les Clous Aimé comes from several parcels located on a south-facing slope of Bouzeron's valley, sheltered from summer's north wind during ripening. Vineyards here are planted with selections of Chardonnay grapes that are chosen for moderate yields. Les clous Aimé is a vin de garde - it's meant to be aged. It is made from the fruit of old vines on a predominantly limestone terroir, and in its youth displays a pure mineral character.
Tasting Note: Its nose is very precise and expressive. The palate is also precise, elegant and refreshing at the same time with floral notes enhanced by the sensation of ripe fruit picked at the right time.
Wine Pairing: A perfect complement to fish and white meats, but avoid sauces that are too spicy. Some recommanded cheeses include goat cheese, Reblochon, Beaufort, and Comté.
Sourced from a blend of 5 parcels in Bouzeron located in several different lower-lying vineyards planted to chardonnay
Burghound: 87 Points
A discreet but not invisible application of wood is present on the ripe and equally fresh aromas of various white orchard fruit, especially pear, along with a floral top note. The caressing and generously proportioned middle weight flavors possess a caressing mouthfeel that is enhanced by a subtle bead of minerality before terminating in a clean and dry finish that is vaguely tannic. This is quite good for its level.
