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 from single lieu-dit ‘Les Doués,’ facing east and high up on the slope, located in the western corner of the Mercurey appellation. Soils mix limestone and clay. Vine age 40 years, on average. Hand-harvested."
