Domaine Dureuil-Janthial Rully Blanc 2021

Dureuil-Janthial's village Rully Blanc is drawn from organically managed plots including vines approaching a century old.

The wine usually comes from five parcels — La Martelle, La Bergerie, En Guesnes, Chaponnière and the younger vines of Le Meix Cadot. In a short year the lieux-dits that would normally be bottled on their own are folded in, and this release also takes in fruit from Chêne, near the summit of the Montagne de Montpalais, and Maizières on a gentle slope east of the village. Average vine age is above forty years, with the oldest approaching a hundred, which is remarkable for the Côte Chalonnaise. Vincent Dureuil farms these plots organically and is fastidious in the vineyard, which shows in the concentration of the wine. It is vinified entirely in barrel with 20% new oak, mainly from the Chassin cooperage, and given a long élevage.

Drink from release to about eight years; serve at 10–12°C with roast chicken, scallops or a firm cheese.
