Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Rully Blanc Le Meix Cadot Vieilles Vignes 1er Cru 2018  - First Bottle

Reviews

95 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
The 2018 Rully 1er Cru Meix Cadot Vieilles Vignes is another sublime wine from Vincent Dureuil; and as ever, this cuvee, from vines planted in 1917, possesses an additional dimension that sets it apart from the very fine younger-vine bottling. Mingling aromas of fresh apricot, peach and golden orchard fruit with hints of beeswax, nutmeg and orange oil, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, girdled by lively acids and underpinned by chewy structuring extract. Long and penetrating, this is one of the wines of the vintage in the Cote Chalonnaise.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
95 points for a wine from the Cote Chalonaise is quite an achievement, one that VERY few have ever received. In fact, in the history of the Wine Advocate, it remains the highest score EVER for a wine from Rully! We've been following young vigneron Vincent Dureuil for more many years now and he is simply the most talented grower and winemaker in the Cote Chalonaise; there is just no one doing what he does. His 2018s are excellent and he is clearly on top of his game. These wines are just too good to miss and on par with any of the wines produced in the Cote de Nuits or Beaune. In a recent tasting of Cote Chalonaise wines conducted by Wine Advocate, William Kelly proclaimed that, "Vincent Dureuil can make a strong claim to rank as the finest producer in the Côte Chalonnaise." This crazy rare old vine blend must be tasted to be believed. Only 17 bottles were allocated to us this year, be one of the few to have a couple in your cellar. :(

About the Producer

The talents of winemaker Vincent Dureuil in Rully are such that it's easy to forget that there are others making wine in the Cote 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.
