2018 Prosper Maufoux Rully Blanc

The Rully vineyard is located on the Côte Chalonnaise, between the Bouzeron and Mercurey appellations. The vines are located here on the gently sloping slopes at an altitude of about 300 meters. The village is one of the most important breeding grounds for Chardonnay in Burgundy. The appellation produces white Premier Crus that rival those of the best villages of
the Cote.

Immediately after harvest, the chardonnay grapes are pressed in whole bunches in a pneumatic press and then a static settling of the juice is given for 24 hours at 12°C. The must then goes directly into barrels where the alcoholic and malolactic fermentations mature for 14 months in French oak barrels and demi-muids. Zero the dregs regularly
to aerate the wine while preserving its freshness. The Chardonnay produced is well aged through the oak barrels, giving it notes of hazelnut.

The Rully has a pale gold color in the glass. It has a fresh nose of yellow fruit and spices with hints of brioche and vanilla. On the palate, the gourmet texture is enhanced by discreet woody notes, which provide a delicate
peppery roast. This Rully is perfectly balanced with nice acidity that gives the wine a good backbone. This Rully Blanc is a delicious glass to enjoy and perfect with a mushroom risotto.
