Domaine Marc Morey & Fils En Rabource, Rully Premier Cru, France 2022

The Domaine Marc Morey et fils is first the history of a family, indeed this exploitation exists since 1919, when Fernand Morey decides to install his operation in an old restaurant relay diligence.

He was joined by his son Marc in 1944, joined in 1977 by his daughter Marie-Josèphe and son-in-law Bernard Mollard. Today it is in the company of their daughter Sabine that they run this field.

The village of Rully contains 23 1er Cru vineyards, each of which are ideal for growing Chardonnay. The Rabourcé vineyard sits on a hillside above the village with a southern exposure to the warming summer sun. Soil is a mixture of clay and limestone. Temperature-controlled fermentation to start, with a transfer midway through to barrel (25 - 30% new oak). The wine rests on the lees for ten months with occasional battonage and is then lightly filtered before bottling.

Elegant aromas with delicate minerality and a long, persistent finish. Delicious with fine cheeses and roasted poultry.
