Wine Description:
Domaine A. et P. de Villaine's Rully 1er Cru 'Rabourcé' is a distinguished expression of Chardonnay from the Rully appellation in Burgundy, France. This Premier Cru, from the 'Rabourcé' vineyard, is notable for its favorable microclimate and limestone-rich soils, which contribute to the creation of a Chardonnay that is both refined and expressive. The Domaine, co-owned by Aubert de Villaine of the famed Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, applies the same high standards and meticulous practices in Rully, ensuring that the 'Rabourcé' exhibits the elegance, complexity, and minerality characteristic of the region's best whites. A restrained use of oak in the aging process allows the purity and nuance of the Chardonnay grape to shine through.
