Importer notes from North Berkely 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."
"100% Pinot Noir. A selection of older vines from the commune of Prémeaux (near Nuits-Saint-Georges) and the commune of Puligny-Montrachet. Soils are in general clay-rich. Planted between 1968 - 2004. ."
