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% Chardonnay. ‘Corvee des Vignes,’ a downslope vineyard facing east, on the border with Meursault. Soils are deeper, with more clay than limestone. The parcel is particularly sunny, ripening early. Planted between 1956 - 1958."
