2022 Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Rully Blanc Meix Cadot
From one of Rully’s finest Premier Cru sites in the Côte Chalonnaise, this 100% Chardonnay comes from east-facing vines planted in 1975 on clay-limestone soils. The warm, sunny exposure encourages ripe fruit, while the limestone-rich terroir preserves freshness and mineral precision.
Hand-harvested and gently pressed, the wine ferments in oak barrels, around 20% of which are new, before spending 12 months in barrel and a further six months in stainless steel to refine its texture and retain freshness.
Tasting note: Pale gold, with elegant aromas of lemon zest, white peach, ripe pear and white flowers, layered with flinty mineral notes, toasted hazelnut and subtle spice. The palate is concentrated yet finely balanced, combining a rounded, creamy texture with vibrant citrus acidity and a pronounced chalky-mineral edge. Subtle oak adds depth without obscuring the fruit, leading to a long, precise and persistent finish.
A beautifully crafted white Burgundy, marrying ripe Chardonnay richness with the tension, minerality and freshness of Rully Premier Cru.
