Dureuil-Janthial, Rully Rouge 2019

Domaine Dureuil-Janthial are a real rarity in Burgundy as they are equally adept at producing both compelling red and whites. The couple say they’ve “chosen to respect the land and bring the soils and vines to life to produce committed and precise wines, of great purity and frank personality.” Vincent is a modest and hard-working farmer, and it is his diligent approach to viticulture that results in such high quality fruit. In the winery the whites see 25% new oak and are finished in stainless steel. The reds are fully destemmed and undergo a cold maceration prior to a slow alcoholic fermentation. Again maturation takes place in barrels and finishes in stainless steel which helps explain their signature combination of character, tension and accuracy. With each vintage getting better and better these wines are some of the best expressions of Rully.
