Description
The Rully vineyard is located on the Côte Chalonnaise, more precisely between the appellations of Bouzeron and Mercurey. The vines grow on the gently rolling slopes at an altitude of around 300 metres. The village is one of the most important breeding grounds for Chardonnay in Burgundy. The appellation produces white Premier Crus that can compete with those of the best villages in the Côte.
Immediately after harvest, the Chardonnay grapes are pressed in whole bunches in a pneumatic press and then it gets a static settling of the juice for 24 hours at 12°C. The must then goes directly into barrels where the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations take place maturation for 14 months in French oak barrels and demi-muids. Regularly zeroing the lees to aerate the wine while preserving its freshness. The Chardonnay produced is well matured by the oak barrels, which gives it hints of hazelnut.
The Rully has a pale golden color in the glass. It has a fresh nose of yellow fruit and spices with hints of brioche and vanilla. On the palate, the gastronomic texture is enhanced by discreet woody notes, which provide a delicate peppery toastedness. This Rully is perfectly balanced with beautiful acids that give the wine a good backbone. This Rully Blanc is a delicious glass to enjoy and perfect with a mushroom risotto.
