Notes from North Berkeley Imports:
"The talents of winemaker Vincent Dureuil in Rully are such that it’s easy to forget that there are others making wine in the Côte Chalonnaise. But there just is no other artist in the region that faithfully crafts Burgundy with as much purity, elegance or character as does Dureuil. Not only is Dureuil a gifted winemaker, but also he is blessed with some exemplary older-vine vineyards that for years have been cared for organically.
Estate-owned vineyard (lieu-dit ‘La Combe’) located in Puligny-Montrachet, on the plains below the village, facing north. Soils are traditional Burgundian limestone and clay, under loamy top soils. Majority of vines planted in 1953-1965."
