Jean Chartron : Rully Village "Montmorin" 2022

Crafted by an estate with a history dating back to 1859, this creamy, intense Chardonnay is barrel-fermented and aged on fine lees for eight months. It has rich aromas of vanilla and citrus pastry on the nose and palate, with pronounced ripeness and lovely freshness. Honeydew melon, peach, and more vanilla cake linger on.

The 2022 Rully Montmorin has a light nose with Granny Smiths and fresh pear, a light limestone aroma hovering in the background. The palate is well-balanced with fine poise and a little more nerve than the Bourgogne Blanc. The neatly integrated 10% new oak rounds out the finish nicely. Worth seeking out.
