A & P de Villaine Rully 1er cru Blanc Rabourcé 2022

91+ points Fine Wine Review: "Most full in the mouth, seemingly lower acidity still than previous wines, yet despite this, the texture is steely; pure, white fruits, clear. Again very Côte de Beaune style. Perhaps a touch less depth than others. Pierre notes that Rabourcé is the 1er cru vineyard that is the most honored in Rully and that is the warmest terroir in the appellation. The higher part of the vineyard had vines from 1955 (they were pulled up in 2024), the lower part from 1990. Vinified mostly in foudre. 14º alcohol. (6/19/25)"

Producer notes: "Located to the north of the Premiers Crus de Rully hill, the vines here are cultivated on one of the warmest terroirs of Rully with a South, South-eastern exposure. This exposure translates itself with notes of white flowers, honey and fresh citrus fruits. On the palate, it is the energy coming from the alliance of the Chardonnay and the terroir of the Rabourcé which surprises, with an aromatic freshness enhanced on the finish by light bitter notes creating a beautiful expression of salinity. A great dynamic wine of strength, power and an ethereal nature all at the same time. It is already very pleasant to drink but will reward your patience."
