Aubert de Villaine

French wine expert

Aubert de Villaine is a social economist and co-owner of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti; he served as the Domaine's co-director from 1974 to 2021, stepping down to an advisory role in 2022. Some of the world's most expensive wines are produced on several of its approximately 50-acre (20 ha) vineyard holdings in Vosne-Romanée and Montrachet. He was originally co-director with Lalou Bize-Leroy, both having inherited their ownership. However disagreements over the direction of the estate, led to Bize-Leroy's 1991 expulsion from the management and her replacement by her nephews, Charles and later Henry-Frédéric Roch, and eventually Bize-Leroy's daughter, Perrine Fenal, in 2018. De Villaine resigned from co-directorship at the end of 2021 and was replaced by his own nephew, Bertrand de Villaine.
