History
Rully is a communal appellation made up of 23 Premiers Crus climats. White Rullys spread on a 261 ha area - including 68 ha of Premiers Crus - whereas red
Rullys are produced on a 116 ha area of which 28 are Premiers Crus.
Rully was named after a rich roman, Rubilius, who built a villa and founded the village during the roman occupation. It was at first named Rubiliacum and it evolved through the years to become the current Rully.
Vinification and maturing
Vintage : 2008
Wines in 2008 resulted medium-bodied with good acidity levels, which is letting hope for a good vintage to keep. Red wines show great intensity in their color, and display a very elegant and complex nose of ripe fruits and light tobacco. Tannins are supple and the overall structure is rich.
