Tasting notes
We began with a 2018 Rully Blanc from Domaine Dureuil-Janthial, one of the finest producers in the Côte Chalonnaise, whose wines excel at Village Cru level. This was no different. Fresh and vibrant on the nose, it continues to display those alluring granitic scents that distinguish this producer from so many others. The palate is taut and fresh, slightly less honeyed than a few months ago, sporting fine tension on the satisfying finish. Could you want anything more from this wine? No.

The 2018 Rully offers up lovely aromas of cassis, blackberries, rich soil tones and dark chocolate. Medium to full-bodied, round and fleshy, its generous core of fruit is underpinned by lively acids and velvety tannins. Last year, I wrote that the 2017 rendition was one of the most unabashedly delicious Rully reds that I can remember tasting from Vincent Dureuil, but this 2018 is just as charming—and with somewhat more depth, too.
The 2018 Rully Rouge has a slightly smudged, savoury nose. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins, a little hardness to contend with at first, but there is a fine structure on the finish. Drink over the next four to five years.
