Rully, Blanc, Clos du Chaigne, 1er Cru, 2024

The east facing Clos du Chaigne receives 20% new barrels, which suit the extra dimension and depth that the richer soils here invariably provide. Excellent definition on the nose, a textured, round attack, and lovely inner energy. A similar teardrop shape to the village wine, but magnified and with extra tension throughout. A bottle of 2002 enjoyed in November 2025 was still full of peps – this is clearly a site that can produce wines to age.
