Henri de Villamont AOC Rully 2022

In the last decade of the 19th century, Léonce Bocquet, owner of the famous Château du Clos de Vougeot and the surrounding 52 ha., decided to build huge vinification and maturation cellars for the wines of his various Domaines. The achievement of this project was entrusted to Albert Suisse, professor at the Art School. Cellars of an area of 2400 m2 and 6 meters high under the vault were finally constructed in 8 years. The building covering it shows red bricks and grey stones on the façade and a roof made of slate.
An engraved stone bears the inscription “1888”, date of the completion of the work.
When Henri de VIllamont purchased this magnificent building in 1964, the aim was to perpetuate this gigantic work: our prestigious wines are matured in these vaulted cellars and bottles in a special “antique” tinted glass.
