Alcohol: 13%
Grape(s): 100% Chardonnay
Localization: Burgundy, France
Tasting Notes: Aromas of white peaches, candied lemon, fresh pineapple. Supple, juicy, round.
Even among the most serious White Burgundy collectors, there are a few value-buys that routinely sit on the same shelf as big names like Coche, Roulot, and Lafon. This is perhaps the most true of Dureuil-Janthial. The wines used to be everywhere, but now they're pretty much nowhere. Well– except here.
Notes: Hand-harvested. Pressed directly; juice allowed to settle for 24 hours before placing in French oak barrels to ferment on indigenous yeasts. Aged for 16 months in barrel (25% new). Lees stirring during the winter months. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, according to the lunar cycle.
Food Pairing: White fish with citrus; roasted chicken; soft-rind cow’s cheese
The Domain: There are few other artisans in the Côte Chalonnaise that faithfully craft Burgundy with as much purity, elegance or character as does Vincent Dureuil. Not only is Dureuil a gifted winemaker, but also he is blessed with some exemplary older-vine vineyards that have for years been cared for organically—another level of attention that sets Dureuil apart from the rest. 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.
