Ladoix Village, Domaine d'Alussia, 2023

An address on a new trajectory and definitely a name to watch - we are excited to introduce Domaine d'Alussia for the first time to Honest Grapes club members.

Winemaker Alexandra Wilson joined the domaine in August 2024, bringing valuable experience from her time with Benjamin Leroux and, before that, fellow Australian winemaker Jane Eyre. The team also benefits from the expertise of Bernard Zito, a renowned consultant and specialist in organic and biodynamic viticulture, aptly described by Winehog's Steen Öhman as “The Swiss Army knife of the Burgundy wine world.”

The domaine combines its own vineyards with contracts from trusted growers, offering a diverse range of wines. Notable holdings include a vineyard in Aloxe-Corton near the winery and three Premier Cru sites: Savigny-lès-Beaune, Pommard, and a prized 0.3-hectare plot in Puligny-Montrachet ‘Les Referts'.

"New to us in 2023. Received as freshly pressed juice and vinified in new and old barrels, ceramic sandstone and stainless steel. Aromas of quince, salted caramel, vanilla and acacia. The palate is a mix of ripe red apple, pear, quince, cashews and sweet spice from the oak. A well-textured wine already drinking well. Bottled in June 2024."
