Rully, Blanc, Clos Folie, 2023

Now fermented with its own yeasts, this is a particularly fine and precise Clos de la Folie, gentle but with a gentle tension too. This always strikes me as spherical wine, but there’s a little crispy note too this year, and surprising persistence for such an effortless delivery. Lovely. A north, north-east clay limestone Monopole vineyard of Domaine de la Folie with 40-year-old vines, fermented and aged in steel tanks only, no oak
