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.

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—a higher level of attention that sets Dureuil qualitatively apart from the pack. His delicate touch translates each individual terroir into a perfect liquid picture of what the best of Rully—and the best of Burgundy, for that matter—can be."

About the cuvee:

"A special blend following the short crop of the 2021 vintage, winemaker Vincent Dureuil combined fruit from two exemplary premier cru vineyards together for this rare and expressive Rully 1er Cru. ‘La Fosse’ gives ripe, cherry-rich fruit with its southern exposure; and ‘Cloux,’ planted in 1936, spice and concentration."
