The 2017 Rully 1er Cru Meix Cadot Vieilles Vignes is also immensely promising, revealing a complex bouquet of fresh pears, blanched almonds, citrus oil and vanilla pod. On the palate, it's full-bodied, multidimensional and textural, with considerable power, concentration and breadth, displaying the tension and cut that distinguish the vintage at this address despite its large-scaled profile, concluding with a long, expansive finish. Broader-shouldered and more impactful than the more tensile and incisive Gresigny Vieilles Vignes, it's hard to know which of Dureuil's two finest white cuvees will have the edge in ten years, but I will certainly be able to answer that question from my own cellar.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!
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 2017s are otherworldly, in short, he is on the top of his game. In a recent tasting of Cote Chalonaise wines conducted by Wine Advocate, this wine was at the very top of the entire report. These wines are just too good to miss.

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.
