Céline et Vincent Dureuil Rully 1er cru Rabourcé 2015

A premier cru white from Rabourcé, one of the mid-slope climats of Rully, made by Céline and Vincent Dureuil.

Rully lies at the northern end of the Côte Chalonnaise, just south of the Côte de Beaune, with premier cru climats spread over clay and limestone slopes above the village. Rabourcé is among the better-known of them. Vincent Dureuil took the family domaine on from his father Raymond in 1994 and runs it with Céline; between them they farm around seventeen to twenty hectares, the greater part in Rully, organically in method though the certification was let go in 2016 after a season of rain, hail and disease. The whites are hand picked and pressed slowly, fermented on indigenous yeasts in barriques with about a fifth new oak, then aged a year or more on lees in wood and a further four to six months in tank before bottling with minimal sulphur. The house style favours texture and length over early flesh.

Best given two or three years and drunk over the following decade. Serve at 10–12°C with roast chicken, veal or a soft-rind cheese.
