It’s not every day that we spotlight Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise. Vincent Dureuil in Rully is a favorite producer among Burgundy’s circle of vignerons. With fervent backing from wine critic William Kelley, he’s getting his long-overdue spotlight in the mainstream. In short, these humble Rully wines rise to the occasion of white Burgundy’s top echelon.

Tasting Note:

The 2019 Rully 1er Cru Meix Cadot Vieilles Vignes is showing brilliantly from bottle, mingling aromas of pear, citrus zest and green apple with hints of vanilla pod, praline and struck match. Medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, it's long and chiseled, with terrific cut and a long, racy finish. This has turned out every bit as well as I thought it would.
