2022 fall. Digoine has become very hard to find here, so when I had the chance to try it for the first time In years (even at near-double what it once was) I figured I would give it a shot. Darker, deeper, more brooding and primary than de Villaine tends to be - good but too young for a wine this style and my palate. It’ll be interesting to see how other 2020 de Villaines are...it would make me a little sad if the style changed to accompany the higher prices...

The 2020 Bourgogne Côte Chalonnaise La Digoine opens in the glass with a remarkably perfumed bouquet of red cherry, raspberry, cranberry and fresh spices. Medium to full-bodied, I love the smooth tannin structure in combination with a great flavor definition. Drink now until 2035.
