2018 Rully Blanc Maizières, Domaine Dureuil-Janthial
This substantial vineyard lies in the heart of the appellation, and no wonder Vincent Durueil has chosen to isolate it for its own cuvée. Pithy and textured with the grip and poise to put many Côte d’Or whites to shame. It is less exuberant than the blended Rully, and the 20% new oak is judged so well here, chiming with the taut, scintillating fruit.
