Château de Rully – Clos La Bressande Monopole – Rully 1er Cru – 2022 Rully Premier Cru AOP – Côte Chalonnaise – Burgundy – France 🇫🇷
Overview A Premier Cru 100% Chardonnay sourced from the monopole vineyard Clos La Bressande, offering full estate control from vineyard to bottle. The 2022 vintage brings slightly more ripeness and generosity while maintaining the hallmark precision and mineral expression of Rully.
Aromas & Flavors Citrus zest, green apple, and ripe pear lead the profile, with a touch more fruit generosity compared to cooler vintages. Crushed stone minerality and a subtle floral lift add definition and elegance.
Mouthfeel Light to medium-bodied with bright, refreshing acidity. The 2022 vintage shows a slightly rounder texture, yet remains precise and tension-driven. Clean, crisp, and lingering finish.
Food Pairings Oysters, grilled fish, sushi, goat cheese, or herb-driven dishes. Also works beautifully with lighter cream-based sauces thanks to its added vintage generosity.
Verdict A beautifully balanced Chardonnay that blends precision with a touch more approachability from the 2022 vintage. Mineral-driven, elegant, and highly drinkable, an elevated Burgundy experience without stretching the budget.
Did You Know? A monopole vineyard is owned entirely by a single producer —rare in Burgundy—allowing complete control over viticulture and winemaking, often resulting in a highly consistent and expressive wine.
🍷 Personal Pick Still firmly in my style, clean, mineral, and refined, but the 2022 adds a touch of charm and roundness that makes it even more versatile and immediately enjoyable. Cheers! — 22 days ago
2014 Vintage - Having during the crazy rain here in California beef roast and Rully- red tawny rim mushroom, truffle, earth, cherry fruit the secondary aromas taking over drinking nicely now glad I didn’t wait too much longer — 3 years ago
A straggler, but drinking very nicely! No sign of oxidation like the last one, just mouth filling goodness though a bit of acidic bite and long finish. — 7 months ago
Intense floral aromas with touches of apple, citrus and unique peach. Concentrated (almost dried) apple flavors with a note of sour quince and wet slate. Creamy texture and lightly Oaked on the very long finish. Well balanced and elegant. — 4 years ago
A bit of a disconnect between the exotic nose and the very mineral and fresh mouth. At the end a really excellent white burg that punches well above its weight. We liked it a lot. I think @Ira Schwartz had same experience with the disconnect ! — 5 months ago
