Rully 1er Cru Blanc "Cloux" 2020 | Wine of the Domaine De Villaine

White Wine Rully 1er Cru "Cloux" White 2020 Domaine De Villaine

The Domaine De Villaine is located in Bouzeron, south of Beaune, and has expanded with acquisitions in Mercurey and Rully. Bought in 1971 by Pamela and Aubert de Villaine, they applied the same methods as at the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti (of which Aubert was one of the co-managers for more than 50 years): biodynamic vines, organic certification, natural vinification, grapes picked and sorted by hand. Recently, Pierre de Benoist, their nephew, has gradually taken over the estate.

Located in the heart of the Rully 1er crus hillside, this Rully 1er Cru "Cloux" Blanc 2020 du Domaine De Villaine develops a beautiful aromatic palette on the nose despite its young age, ranging from citrus notes to notes of spring flowers. When you put your nose on it, you get the feeling of a certain light, elegant and harmonious complexity.
The palate is itself elegant and thirst-quenching due to the presence of a bitterness coming from the skin of the grapes, making the touch of the wine very salty and salient on the finish. The roundness of the fruit combined with a tender substance finish off this wine which seems straight cut to stand the test of time.
Drink now with an elegant expression of its fruit or wait ten to twenty years to discover the texture and quality of its terroir.
