Hyde de Villaine (HdV) brings together the Hyde family, represented by renowned Californian viticulturist Larry Hyde and the de Villaines. Pamela and Aubert de Villaine pioneered their own Domaine de Villaine in Bouzeron and of course Aubert is best known for Domaine de la Romanée-Conti in Vosne-Romanée. Pamela de Villaine is key to the original partnership. She is Larry Hyde’s cousin. Together Aubert and Larry aim to produce wines which have a sense of place, proudly Californian, certainly, but offering elegance rather than muscle.

The sunshine state of California is home to some of the world’s highest quality wines, often from small, family-owned wineries in vineyard areas cooled by Pacific breezes
