Reviews
James Suckling 93
Ripe, suave and silky, but with a very good backbone of minerals and bright acidity. For this appellation, this has very good concentration. Delicate flint and chalky character on the nose, but this is just beginning to open up. Long, clean and mineral finish. Drink or hold.

Technical Details
Description
Rully is the first village in the Cote Chalonnaise as you move south out of the Cote-d'Or, where the soils are a mixture of clay/limestone to pure limestone, ideal for the growing of Chardonnay. Owing to the relatively small output and the widely varying orientation of the vines, a consistent supply of good quality Rully is hard to come by, hence its appearance on the Maison Louis Latour list only in vintages of universally acknowledged quality.
