2023 Philippe Girard Rully blc
The 2023 Philippe Girard Rully Blanc is a precise and elegant Chardonnay from the Côte Chalonnaise, a region known for its high-quality, value-driven white wines. Crafted from 40-year-old vines, this wine showcases the exceptional quality of the 2023 vintage, which provided perfectly ripe grapes and a beautiful aromatic profile. It has a brilliant golden color and an aromatic bouquet of citrus fruits like clementine and lemon, complemented by notes of white peach and a subtle minerality. The palate is both lively and well-rounded, with a generous, fruity character and a refreshing acidity that provides a clean, harmonious finish. This Rully is an excellent example of its appellation, offering a wine that is both delicious in its youth and will develop gracefully with a few years in the cellar.
