Rully 1er Cru La Fosse 2017 - Dureuil-Janthial

Rully 1er Cru La Fosse 2017 - Dureuil-Janthial

Location: La Fosse. This climate consists of three plots of land close to the houses of the village. The whole is under Rabourcé and the hollow shape explains the name Fosse (from the Latin Fossa "excavation, hollow, hole, ditch"). It is a natural hollow, the one where the Thalie river takes its source. In one of the plots, the name of the locality that the Climate encompasses is the same as that of the Climate, in the other it is Rue Du Bourg-Neuf. The word Bourg refers here to a commercial district of the village and Neuf - from the Latin adjective Novus "new, young" - notes the recent character of the creation of this district.

Geographical location: Center of the Appellation with a south orientation. It is a solar and early parcel, located at mid-slope.

Grape Variety : Pinot noir

Vineyards: Planted in 1973 for a total area of 22 ares 70

Soil and subsoil: Clayey-limestone with gravel on the surface, a very draining plot. 

Vinification: Hand picked, passing over two sorting tables: a vibrating table and a belt table. The grapes are then de-stemmed or not depending on the vintage and put into truncated cone-shaped wooden vats. The harvest is then cooled and the vinification takes place after a week of cold maceration (at the end of the harvest). Pigeage or pumping over depending on the phase of vinification. We taste the wines every day and decide on the interventions to be made according to the tasting.

Maturing: In 19th century cellars. 12 months in barrels (33% new) with malolactic fermentation, then 6 months in stainless steel tanks. Bottling according to the lunar calendar

Personality : The long maturation period allows this wine to age very well. The robe is concentrated and offers aromas of ripe fruits. The tannins are always fine on this terroir, the mouth is always full.

Serving temperature : 16° C
