Experience the refined elegance of the David Moret Rully 2023, a premium white Burgundy sourced exclusively from the renowned Rully appellation in the northern Côte Chalonnaise. This exceptional wine is crafted from hand-picked Chardonnay grapes grown on deep clay-limestone soils, known for producing rich, round, and highly expressive wines that rival those from the prestigious Côte de Beaune.
The grapes are carefully harvested by hand into small boxes to preserve the integrity and freshness of the fruit. At the winery, the fruit undergoes gentle whole-bunch pressing and fermentation in 228-litre French oak barrels using indigenous yeasts. About 20% of these barrels are new oak, contributing subtle complexity. The wine completes malolactic fermentation and is aged for approximately 15 months, then bottled without fining or filtration to retain its natural character.
On the nose, this Rully 2023 displays a vibrant bouquet of elderflower, lemon zest, white peach, and flinty minerality. The palate is beautifully balanced with a classic Burgundian harmony of fresh acidity and rich texture, revealing notes of bright orchard fruits, toasted nuts, oatmeal, and a delicate honeyed finish that lingers gracefully.
Perfect for connoisseurs seeking authentic Rully white wine from a small-production, family-run winery. Ideal paired with seafood, poultry, or creamy cheeses.
Discover the exceptional craftsmanship of David Moret, a boutique white wine producer based in the heart of Beaune, Burgundy. A talented micro-négociant winemaker, David has been crafting elegant, oak-aged white wines since the late 1980s, focusing exclusively on Chardonnay grapes from Burgundy’s Côte de Beaune.
Starting with no family vineyards, David took a leap of faith by securing a bank loan to purchase his first barrels and grapes. Today, he sources premium fruit from around eight respected growers, primarily located in the Côte des Blancs triangle, Meursault, Puligny-Montrachet, and Chassagne-Montrachet, along with hidden gems from lesser-known Burgundy villages that offer outstanding value.
What sets David Moret white Burgundy wines apart is his commitment to quality winemaking and vineyard control. He personally oversees vineyard practices throughout the growing season and determines the optimal harvest date for each parcel. He exclusively purchases whole grape bunches, allowing him to sort fruit meticulously on arrival, now enhanced with state-of-the-art optical sorting technology.
All of David’s white wines from his expressive Bourgogne Aligoté to his prestigious Grand Cru Corton-Charlemagne, are oak-fermented and aged on fine lees for 12 to 18 months. Using lightly toasted Allier oak barrels, he achieves his signature style: toasty, textured white wines with vibrant fruit character and a refined finish. The use of new oak is tailored to each vintage and cuvée, ensuring balance and elegance.
Experience handcrafted, small-batch Burgundy Chardonnay wines that reflect both terroir and technique, a true testament to David Moret’s dedication to classic Burgundian winemaking.
