Rully 1er Cru "Champs Cloux" (Red)

Origine

The vineyard plot is located on the eastern slopes of Rully, facing the rising sun, below the village's imposing château. The soil here is a fairly deep clay, but still well drained, producing healthy, well-constituted grapes.

Vinification

The grapes arrive in the vat room and are partially or totally destemmed. Once in the vat, the cold maceration (7-8°C) lasts 5 to 8 days, during which the Pinot Noir endows the Rully with its colour and aromas. Alcoholic fermentation lasts 15-20 days at a controlled temperature of 28-30°C. The running off and pressing are carried out as soon as alcoholic fermentation is complete. The resulting wines undergo 12 months ageing in barrels, of which 20-25% are new. The wines are then stored for 6 months in stainless steel vats before bottling in the spring.

Notes de dégustation

Rully 1er Cru Les Champs Cloux is generally a very colorful wine. Powerful and full-bodied, it develops an elegant finesse as it ages. There are intense aromas of red fruits (black cherries).

Mets d'accompagnements

All kinds of meat, roasted or in a sauce, and mature cheeses.
