Domaine de Villaine Rully 1er Cru Rabourcé Blanc

“Rabourcé,” one of the “magical” six Premier Cru vineyards where Pierre de Benoist crafts his remarkably refined Chardonnay, is located in the northern part of Rully. It lies on a warm slope, set just behind the neighboring Premier Cru sites “Raclot” and “Cloux.” On the nose, Rabourcé offers a striking combination of ripe white-fleshed fruit notes and fresh butter, alongside a subtle influence from oak. Chalk and minerality define the palate, with an impressive aromatic breadth derived from excellent grape ripeness, evoking apricot and candied pineapple. However, its acidity brings remarkable freshness to the finish while also lending outstanding length. Rich and silky, with beautiful concentration supported by vibrant acidity, this is a wine that will continue to improve with age.
