“I have waxed lyrical about this Rully producer for several years now. I always make a beeline for their wines on Burgundy restaurant lists. They are beautifully crafted wines that transcend their status.” - Neal Martin, Vinous

Keenly-priced for a Premier Cru white Burgundy, this comes from a walled vineyard at the northern end of the appellation, opposite one of Rully’s top sites, Le Clos St Jacques. It pours a pale silver-gold colour, suggesting luminescence and it tastes of sunlight and citrus, a little nutty warmth from its time in barrel, and that classic Burgundian paradox where lemon and single cream intertwine without curdling. 13% alc. Drink now-2029.

“Folie’s history dates back 300 years, but the recent renaissance at this Domaine is thanks to Clémence and Baptiste Dubrulle. It was Clémence’s grandfather who made the wines famous in the Sixties and Seventies and, after a prolonged slump, they are back to stellar form!” - Matthew Jukes

Press review:

Vinous (Neal Martin): “The 2022 Rully Blanc ‘Clos de Chaigne’ 1er Cru comes from the parcel equidistant between Rully and Bouzeron at the limit of the appellation. Its marn rouge soils are apparently uncommon in this locality (more common in Corton). The main part of the alcoholic fermentation takes place in barrel, where it matures for 15 months. The lifted bouquet is very aromatic, with white flowers and light praline orchard fruit scents. The palate is marked by a fine bead of acidity, keeping this Rully Blanc on its toes and delivering real complexity and purity on the finish. A very seductive Rully - keep a second bottle handy - you'll need it. Drink now-2035.” (91-93) points
