The Rully Premier Cru appellation
This wine showcases Rully Premier Cru, an appellation in Burgundy situated at the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise. Renowned for both its white and red wines, it expresses the identity of its vineyard sites and the diversity of its soils with finesse. The Meix Cadot vineyard site is part of this mosaic of parcels that gives Rully its distinctive character.
For its white wines, the appellation relies primarily on Chardonnay, Burgundy’s signature grape variety. Here, it benefits from conditions conducive to precise, balanced and structured wines, in which freshness complements a more generous texture. The Premier Cru classification highlights the quality of the site and the wines’ ability to develop harmoniously over time.
The 2020 vintage is regarded as a sought-after year in Burgundy. Without presupposing the specific notes of this bottle, this wine is intended for attentive tasting, both in its youth and several years after bottling. Its style suggests a balanced expression combining brightness, volume and persistence.
The Dureuil Janthial estate
Dureuil Janthial offers this interpretation of the Meix Cadot vineyard site with an approach faithful to the Burgundian spirit: showcasing the appellation, the place and the precision of the vintage. Based in Burgundy, in the Côte Chalonnaise, the producer presents here a white wine classified as Premier Cru, from the 2020 vintage.
This wine offers an elegant interpretation of Rully, designed to accompany food while also showing genuine ageing potential. The estate’s name and that of the vineyard site give the wine an identity firmly rooted in its origins, without seeking an overtly demonstrative expression.
Tasting recommendations
Serve this white Rully Premier Cru between 10 and 12°C, after opening it sufficiently in advance to allow it to express itself. Decanting may be considered if the wine is tasted in its youth, with moderate aeration.
At the table, it will pair beautifully with roasted fish or fish served in a light sauce, shellfish, crustaceans and poultry in a cream sauce. Its freshness will also complement mushroom risotto, roasted vegetables and mild firm cheeses. To preserve its balance, avoid overly spicy or strongly vinegared preparations.
Its indicative ageing potential is between 5 and 8 years, depending on storage conditions and the desired stage of evolution. Store the bottle on its side, away from light and temperature fluctuations.
