Rully, Domaine Roland Sounit

Origin

The village of Rully is situated in the Côtes Châlonnaise North West of Chalon-sur-Saône. 

Vinification 

Mechanical harvest. Traditional vinification. The grapes are pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery in pneumatic presses. The alcoholic fermentation is carried out in oak barrels. The wine is aged for 8 to 10 months in oak barrels with regular stirring to gain depth and complexity.

Soil

A subsoil of clay and limestone is covered by a very stony top soil.

Tasting Note

Pale gold colour with green highlights. The notes of wood blend with aromas of orange blossom, citrus and lily of the valley. This refined and complex wine has a great length on the palate, supported by nice acidity and a remarkable minerality. This fresh wine offers a lot of pleasure as well for an aperitif as for elaborate dishes. 

Food Match 

Marries perfectly with tender meat, fried river fish, sea fish in white wine sauce, hot shellfish, poultry in a creamy sauce and frog legs. It can also be drunk as an aperitif. Hard cheeses: Comté, Beaufort, Emmental…
