2023, Domaine de Villaine, RULLY, 'Les Champs Cloux', BIO

Organic since 2010 now changing to biodynamic. Two plots acquired at different times – with separate elevage – but the two are blended before bottling. First vintage in 2016 before buying a neighbouring parcel in 2017.

The Rully 1er Cru Champs Cloux 2023 presents itself as a fruit driven wine, with an almost iodine-like nose. The palate is “gourmand”, with a beautiful aromatic freshness. The tannins are polished due to vinification with only 20% whole bunches. Everything revolves around the fruit and its juice, the kind that makes the mouth water and encourages another glass. To drink now or within three years.
