2023 Prosper Maufoux Rully Blanc

The Rully vineyard is situated on the Côte Chalonnaise, more specifically between the Bouzeron and Mercurey appellations. The vines stand here on gently sloping hillsides at an altitude of approximately 300 meters. The village is one of the most important breeding grounds for Chardonnay in Burgundy. The appellation produces white Premier Crus that can rival those of the best villages on the Côte.

Immediately after the harvest, the Chardonnay grapes are pressed in whole bunches in a pneumatic press, followed by static settling of the juice for 24 hours at 12°C. The must then goes directly into vats where alcoholic and malolactic fermentation takes place, and aging occurs for 14 months in French oak barrels and demi-muids. The lees are regularly racked to aerate the wine while preserving its freshness. The resulting Chardonnay is well-aged in the oak barrels, giving it notes of hazelnut.

The Rully has a pale golden colour in the glass. It has a fresh nose of yellow fruit and spices with a hint of brioche and vanilla. On the palate, the gastronomic texture is enhanced by discreet woody notes, providing a delicate peppery toastiness. This Rully is perfectly balanced with beautiful acidity that gives the wine good backbone. This Rully Blanc is a delightful glass to enjoy and perfect with a mushroom risotto.
