Ripe, bold and expressive yet not without a controlling line of gripping acid and extract. Charming and boisterous, plump with fruit but also lit up with energy. Sun kissed lemons, plenty of breadth tapering into a fine mineral finish. This is gaining in complexity and tension year on year. Excellent. Élevage was carried out exclusively in barrels in ’22, of which 20% were new. A due east-facing vineyard on clay-dominated limestone soils.
An exciting Domaine reborn. Clémence and Baptiste Dubrulle took over at the Domaine in 2010, but the estate’s history goes back three hundred years. It was Clémence’s grandfather that really made the reputation of the Domaine as one of the greats in the Côte Chalonnaise in the sixties and seventies. The Domaine fell on hard times and had nearly gone to ruin until Clémence and Baptiste took over and set about restoring it to its former glory. What a turnaround. The Domaine, based in Chagny, stretches over 13 hectares of Rully, two-thirds of which is planted to Chardonnay and one-third Pinot Noir. Viticulture is sustainable, respecting both tradition and the environment, chemical herbicides are avoided and harvest is manual in small cases. The wines, which are from some of the region’s finest single vineyards, are aged in steel or with oak barrels up to a maximum of five years-old depending on the cuvée. It’s wonderful to see this Domaine fulfilling their potential and showing that of the Rully region for producing, classy, pure wines of huge character.
