Rully 1er Cru Chapitre Vincent Dureuil-Janthial 2019

The wine

This red Rully owes its name to the climat and lieu-dit it comes from, at the centre of this Côte Chalonnaise appellation. The Pinot noir cultivated by this domain grows on a sunny, early-ripening parcel at the bottom of a slope. These were planted in the 1950s and benefit from clay-rich soil.
To craft this wine, the domain began with organic growing and meticulous vinification. This includes harvesting by hand, rigorous sorting, and vatting in cone-shaped, wooden containers. Stirring and pumping over are carried out to extract colour, flavour, and texture before a 12-month fermentation in casks and a 6-month maturation in steel vats. Bottling is carried out according to the lunar calendar.
This wine has a superb capacity for ageing. Concentrated, it has an intensely ripe aromatic bouquet and fine tannins that structure an ample palate. To savour with equally rich dishes!

Domaine Dureuil-Janthial is the icon of Rully. The Dureuil-Janthial family, one of the oldest of the village, has been firmly rooted in the area since the 13th century. Since 1994, Céline and Vincent Dureuil have been at the helm, proudly perpetuating the family’s legacy. The vineyard extends over 20 hectares, mainly in the Côte Chalonnaise but also in Côte de Beaune and Côte de Nuits, across 23 different appellations. Certified organic in 2009, the estate also incorporates some biodynamic practices, including respect for the lunar calendar. However, a severe mildew crisis in 2016 led to the use of phosphonate acids to treat the vines, which is not approved for organic certification. As a result, the estate lost its certification, but after re-engaging with the process, it regained its organic status with the 2021 vintage. The work at Domaine Dureuil-Janthial is meticulous, with notable improvements in the ageing process, resulting in wines of exceptional finesse. The entire range is consistently outstanding, making the estate a safe bet for wine lovers. Domaine Dureuil-Janthial has established itself as the leading name in the Rully appellation.
