Description
In the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine De Villaine makes its wine as an act of conviction. Aubert de Villaine, also at the helm of Romanée-Conti, found in Bouzeron and Rully an ideal setting to bring the most forgotten Burgundy whites back into the limelight. It was a bold decision: to move away from the glitz of the Côte d'Or to embrace discreet plots, but with soul. Domaine De Villaine Rully 1er Cru Grésigny is one of them - a premier cru of complex soils of clay, limestone and grey marl, where vines over 85 years old extract depth and tension. Here, Chardonnay expresses itself with mineral sobriety and precision, reflecting a temperate continental climate, with marked seasons and a freshness that imprints character on each cluster.
Winemaking
The winemaking process honours this unique raw material. The grapes destined for Domaine De Villaine Rully 1er Cru Grésigny ferment slowly in barrel for 25 days, allowing a delicate and natural extraction. Malolactic fermentation is also carried out in barrels, softening the edges and providing unctuousness without losing freshness. Ageing lasts between 12 and 18 months in oak barrels, only 25% of which are new, providing structure without masking the varietal essence. After oak ageing, Domaine De Villaine Rully 1er Cru Grésigny rests in the bottle for an additional year, refining its structure and revealing its more precise and balanced profile.
Taste
Domaine De Villaine Rully 1er Cru Grésigny presents itself with a refined, taut nose: lemon, green apple, white pear and a faint whisper of acacia blossom. All enveloped in a vibrant minerality of wet stone and chalk. On the palate, the entry is sharp and energetic, marked by a sharp acidity that perfectly balances the creaminess provided by the ageing. The citrus notes are amplified on the palate - lemon peel, lime zest - and intertwine with a saline and spicy background. The finish is long, dry, with an aftertaste reminiscent of the land it comes from: austere, deep, lively. A Burgundy white with the soul of a mountain wine, precise, without artifice, ideal for seafood dishes, white meats or washed rind cheeses.
