From the steep slopes of Pfersigberg and the rich in fossils limestone soils, Riesling manages to combine great levels of maturity and juicy character with intense minerality and refreshing acidity. Citrus fruit aromas, succulent white-fleshed fruits, honey and a smoky mineral character lead to a rich, honeyed palate with spicy notes and persistent...
Domaine de Villaine's great 1er cru Rabourcé is one of the most stunning vineyards, amphitheatrically shaped with south-southeast exposure and one of the first to be recognized in Rully. It is the warmest vineyard of those on the estate with white clay soils. The small property extends over three different parcels and due to the exposure and ripening of...
One of Rully's great terroirs, a gorgeous premier cru that combines the soft, perfectly ripened fruit from the eastern exposure slopes of "Les Cloux" with spicy peppery elements, classic as can be, and with the corners rounding the beautifully integrated barrel. The vineyard is biodynamically farmed and the wine is matured in a combination of barrels and...

In the cool coastal climate, alcohol is always restrained in these wines and the character is full of umami salinity and...

About 50% of the grapes are under the influence of the fungus compensating Riffault with richness, volume maturity and taste concentration. All this comes about three years...
The harvest for Auksinis maceration is done on the same day as Auksinis in a percentage of advanced infestation of grapes by botrytis. The extraction of the whole bunches takes about a week and the alcoholic fermentation takes place slowly and for about three months. The wine will mature with fine wine lees first for two years in stainless steel tanks and...
