Just a few kilometers south of Santenay, the Rully appelation is part of the Mercurey region. Drouhin holds 3 acres from which this bottling is bio-dynamically sourced. Dense vine planting is employed in order to extract maximum minerality from the limestone soils while naturally limiting yield of each individual vine, which is consistently 20% less than the allowable yield for the region. Grapes are hand-harvested and then sorted in the vineyard and again at the winery before being pressed. The wine spends 6-8 months in (20% new) oak barrels before bottling. From Drouhin: "A wine full of charm! The colour is a beautiful white gold, with a ravishing purity and brilliance. The aromas are fresh and fruity, with nuances of broom shrub (genêt), almond and delicious preserved citrus notes. On the palate, it is fresh and elegant. A long and delicious aftertaste makes for a lasting impression."

"Apart from the hint of exotic fruit that complements the ripe-pear and discreet vanilla aromas, this is a classic example of Puligny-Montrachet, with the balance of creaminess and elegance we expect from this appellation. The finish is long and delicate."

"Ripe and attractively layered aromas are comprised by freshly sliced white peach, acacia blossom and citrus confit. The succulent and seductively textured medium weight flavours possess a lovely mouthfeel that carries over to the balanced, sappy and impressively long finish. This is an excellent Puligny villages and well-worth checking out."
