Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Rully Blanc Maizières 2015

Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Rully Blanc Maizières is a village-level Chardonnay from a single named parcel on the Rully slope.

Rully, at the northern tip of the Côte Chalonnaise, is above all a white wine village, its Chardonnay grown on limestone and marl that runs on from the Côte de Beaune. Maizières is one of the named lieux-dits Vincent Dureuil-Janthial bottles on its own from his eighteen or so hectares around the commune. The fruit is picked by hand at low yields, pressed in whole bunches and fermented on indigenous yeasts in barrel, then left on lees for around a year, with only a small proportion of new oak so that the site remains legible. Malolactic conversion is allowed. The wine has the tension and chalky grip that mark the domaine, with more depth than a straight village white.

Good on release and better after a couple of years. Serve at 10–12°C with grilled fish, chicken in cream or a soft goat's cheese.
