2022, Domaine de Villaine, RULLY, 1er Cru, 'Rabource', BIO

Domaine notes: Located to the north of the Premiers Crus de Rully hill, the vines here are cultivated on one of the warmest terroirs of Rully with a South, South-eastern exposure. This exposure translates itself with notes of white flowers, honey and fresh citrus fruits. On the palate, it is the energy coming from the alliance of the Chardonnay and the terroir of the Rabourcé which surprises, with an aromatic freshness enhanced on the finish by light bitter notes creating a beautiful expression of salinity. A great dynamic wine of strength, power and an ethereal nature all at the same time. It is already very pleasant to drink but will reward your patience.

In the north of Rully and warmer than Margotés, harvested 22 August. Vinified in foudre. Certified biodynamic. Smells riper, with more citrus and a touch of stone fruit. Deep, gently chewy and fuller in the mouth. Rounded, spicy, deep. 17 Julia Harding MW (JR).
