Tasting Story

Rully is one of the Côte Chalonnaise’s shining stars, and in the hands of Julien Altaber this Chardonnay becomes something truly compelling.

Notes of citrus oil and white peach lead, layered with hazelnut and a firm line of chalky limestone minerality. The palate balances weight with finesse — structured, precise, and quietly powerful.

A serious Burgundy that offers depth and elegance, perfect for introducing guests to Burgundy beyond the most famous names.

Serving Tip
