The Buyer | How Corney & Barrow celebrated 25 years of Hyde de Villaine
It’s a quarter-century since Domaine de la Romanée-Conti's Aubert de Villaine joined forces with the Hyde family in Carneros to create the joint venture that is Hyde de Villaine. Sophie Thorpe reports on an anniversary tasting of the estate's HdV Chardonnay, hosted by exclusive UK agent Corney & Barrow, and hears from both de Villaine and winemaker Guillaume Boudet about how these wines are Californian but made with a Burgundian philosophy.
