2022 Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Rully Rouge, Burgundy, France
ABOUT THE WINE
Crafted entirely from estate-grown Pinot Noir in the commune of Rully, this wine reflects Vincent Dureuil-Janthialâs deep dedication to elevating the terroirs of the CĂŽte Chalonnaise. The vines are farmed organically (certified) on predominantly limestone-clay soils with a high proportion of stony marl, bringing freshness and structure to the wine. The 2022 vintage offered ideal conditionsâmoderate heat, timely rains, and healthy yieldsâresulting in a wine of clarity, concentration, and poise.
Vinification is traditional and minimal: grapes are hand-harvested, 100% destemmed, and fermented with indigenous yeasts. Gentle extraction methodsâminimal punch-downs and pump-oversâpreserve the delicate nature of the fruit. The wine is aged in French oak barrels (approximately 20% new) for about 12 months before bottling without fining.
Aromatically vibrant and pure, the wine opens with floral lift and red berry freshness, giving way to savory undertones of forest floor and spice. The mouthfeel is polished and balanced, revealing both the precision of Dureuil-Janthialâs craftsmanship and the character of the Rully terroir.
ABOUT THE PRODUCER
Vincent Dureuil-Janthial is widely regarded as one of the most talented and meticulous winemakers in Burgundy, and a defining figure in the renaissance of Rully. His family has deep roots in the village, with winemaking traditions dating back to the 13th century.

The estate farms organically across over 20 hectares of vines in Rully, Mercurey, and Puligny-Montrachet, with an uncompromising focus on soil health, low yields, and site expression. Every step of the processâfrom hand-harvesting to small-lot vinificationâis carried out with precision and restraint, aiming to translate vineyard character with utmost clarity. While best known for his whites, Vincentâs redsâlike this Rully Rougeâare gaining acclaim for their purity, finesse, and age-worthy structure.
