Rully Blanc Montagne La Folie, Domaine Claudie Jobard 2020

This wine has a real presence in the glass, with a lovely pale-golden hue. There's a warming toastiness to the nose, a notable hint of citrus and clementine, with notes of almond and herb.

The palate is bold, weighty and full-bodied, there's toasted almond, hazelnut and notes of dried orchard fruit. There's an element of delicate spice and minerality with a creaminess, almost buttery character to the finish which completes with a cleansing citrus zing. The finish is lengthy, warming and complex. This really is full-on, intense white Burgundy.

Like its predecessor, this 2020 Rully is a wine that will bring great pleasure to those who enjoy the richer, more textured, rounded style of chardonnay from the Burgundy region. Its home is at the dinner table in the presence of fine food and fine company. Drink Now - 2025
