Vincent Dureuil-Janthial - Rully - Blanc

Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial makes this Chardonnay in Rully, on the Côte Chalonnaise, the more affordable neighbour to the Côte d'Or's grander whites. The domaine works the appellation's limestone slopes to produce a Burgundy Blanc with real precision, built for those who want proper white Burgundy character without the Meursault price tag.

Expect a taut, mineral-driven white with orchard fruit and a saline edge rather than heavy oak or butter. Serve at 11-13°C alongside shellfish, oily fish, or a spread of cheese and charcuterie — it has the acidity to cut through richness and the depth to hold its own at the table.
