Pinpoint ripeness here, with apricot and apple aromas, followed by Rully’s typically firm, medium-bodied palate. Fresh and satisfying, and a fine ambassador for this well-known village.

PRODUCER
Occupying an impressive nineteenth-century building in Savigny-Lès- Beaune, Henri de Villamont is a medium-sized producer that combines an enviable domaine (they are particularly strong in Chambolle-Musigny) with a meticulously sourced négociant range. The cuverie was updated with the latest equipment less than ten years ago, and underneath there is ample storage for barrels in the beautiful double-height cellar. These features give the winemaker flexibility and precision, resulting in excellent expression of the various terroirs on offer, which include some particularly well-sited vineyards.
VINEYARD
The vines that made this Rully are twenty years old, planted on clay- limestone soil.
WINERY
The wine was fermented and aged for nine months in 350-litre oak barrels, with twenty percent new wood.
