Rully, Blanc, Clos St Jacques, 1er Cru, 2019
A fruit profile of mirabelle and peach that recalls the Clos de la Folie more than the Clos du Chaigne but much more slender and savoury. A wonderful mix of ripe confit golden berries, stony and salty minerality, and clear focus. Beautifully weighted, balanced and lively - there is plenty of spark, finesse and interest here. Top drawer Rully. Another Domaine de la Folie Monopole. A fine, east-facing stony vineyard of vines aged between 70 and 80 years old. Aged in oak barrels, 20% of which are new.
critic reviews
From a steeper, stonier site comes the 2019 Rully 1er Cru Clos St Jacques Blanc, a medium to full-bodied, fleshy and concentrated wine evocative of peach, mandarin, white flowers and spices. Lively and precise, this will develop nicely in the cellar.
The 2019 Rully Clos Saint-Jacques 1er Cru comes from the domaine’s monopole, a hectare planted in 1952 located next to woods, ploughed twice a year and then tended by hand. The vines here are sensitive to both frost and heat. It is matured in five- or six-year-old barrels with just 10% new. It has a well-defined bouquet with orange blossom, peony and grapefruit aromas that seem to explode from the glass. The palate is well balanced with a slightly viscous entry, beautifully poised with immense purity. Frankly this is up there with some of the best wines that I have tasted in the Côte de Beaune with wonderful persistence on the finish. A must-buy and no, the score is not over-generous for a Rully.
