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 blend of fruit from ‘Le Meix Cadot,’ planted in 1978 and facing east, under premier cru ‘Meix Cadot’; ‘En Rosey,’ facing east on a plateau to the west of Rully, and planted in 1974; and ‘Montagne de Remenot,’ facing east and planted in 1980. Soils range from rich, deep clay to pure limestone and a mix of the two."
