Baltasis sausas
The 2018 Rully 1er Cru Rabourcé offers up notions of crisp orchard fruit, orange zest, nutmeg and vanilla pod that's patinated by its maturation in a new foudre purchased expressly to vinify this new parcel. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and precise, it's lively and charming, concluding with a long, saline finish.
Domaine de Villaine is located in Bouzeron, nestled in the Côte Chalonnaise region between Chassagne-Montrachet and Santenay to the north and Rully and Mercurey to the south. Planted with vines by the monks of Cluny in the Middle Ages, this small, sunny valley has a rich and lengthy tradition of producing quality wines which reflect their exceptional terroir. Here, vines are grown exclusively on the slopes : the nutrient-poor, limestone-rich soil allows precise yield control, while a warm microclimate favors ripening of the grapes.
