Domaine Vincent Dureuil- Janthial, Rully Rouge 2016

Everything is hand-picked. A large proportion of his vines are in excess of 50 to 75 years old. His reds are rigorously sorted, destemmed and are cold macerated at 10 degrees for 10 days prior to fermentation. They are vinified, with natural yeasts, in temperature controlled open fermenters and see around 30% new oak for 18 months, prior to being bottled unfined and unfiltered.

Vincent Dureuil is an amazing vigneron whom, in the 25 years, has transformed this domaine. He produces exquisite red and white wines which are among the most highly regarded (and enjoyed!) by his peers in all Burgundy. His family have been vignerons in the village of Rully since the seventeenth century. Having taken over his father’s vines a few years ago, he now owns some 20 hectares (16 of which are in Rully) which are farmed organically.
