"Here too there is a touch of post-bottling SO2 that detracts only mildly from the otherwise expressive nose from the slightly exotic nose of honey suckle and yellow orchard fruit scents. The precise, energetic and strikingly powerful medium-bodied flavors explode on the bone dry, long, lemony and persistent finish where a touch of wood appears. This is not for everyone as it's almost too much of a good thing as there is a serious amount of palate coating dry extract but if you like muscular and powerful whites, this would be one to consider. In sum this is an impressively scaled Rully blanc." |

About the Winery
"In October 2002, Helene Jaeger-Defaix, Didier's wife, took over her first vineyard in Rully 1er cru Mont-Palais white ( South Burgundy ) from her great-aunt Henriette Niepce. This plot is a part of a wine-farm entirely situated in Rully 1er cru white and red that Helene was wishing to manage entirely in the future in order to carry on the viticultural tradition of the Niepce family, winegrowers since the 16th century. Henri Niepce, the great-grandfather of Helene, is one of the great figures of Rully. He enormously contributed in the 30's for Rully to obtain the AOC (appellation d'origine controlee) and then to build its fame. Located in the south of Cote de Beaune, Rully is a vineyard of 330 ha ( 220 ha white, 110 ha red) amongst which only 100 ha are classified as 1st crus. In November 2003, Helene took over a second plot situated on Rully 1er cru Preau red. We have carried out our first harvest there in 2004."
