Wine Advocate, 91 Points

“The 2018 Rully 1er Cru Rabourc offers up notions of crisp orchard fruit, orange zest, nutmeg and vanilla pod that’s patinated by its maturation in a new foudre purchased expressly to vinify this new parcel. Medium to full-bodied, elegant and precise, it’s lively and charming, concluding with a long, saline finish.”

Winemaker Notes:

“For a first vintage, this wine was immediately marked by its “terroir” consisting of white clay, with an opulent nose of aromas of white flesh fruits, chalky notes, verbena and grilled toast, slightly woody due to vinification and aging in a new wooden lightning. The palate is beautiful, fine and fleshy, fruity and very digestible, with a very beautiful aromatic persistence reminiscent of the cherry kernel at the end of the palate.”

Alcohol: 14%
