Rully 1er Cru Rabourcé

A perfect match with roast chicken and fine cheeses.

The village of Rully contains 23 1er Cru vineyards, each of which are ideal for growing Chardonnay. The Rabourcé vineyard sits on a hillside above the village with a southern exposure to the warming summer sun. Soil is a mixture of clay and limestone.

The wine rests on the lees for eleven months and is then lightly fined then filtered before bottling.

Temperature-controlled fermentation to start, with a transfer midway through to barrel (25 - 30% new oak).

Domaine Marc Morey was founded just after the first world war by Fernand Morey. The first vineyard holdings comprised just a couple of hectares in Chassagne-Montrachet. Marc Morey took over in 1944 following his father's death when he quickly expanded the property. He started to bottle directly at the Domaine and Marc Morey et Fils rapidly became a well respected name in the village. Marc's daughter Marie-Josephine and her husband Bernard joined the family business in 1977. Today Marc's grand-daughter Sabine Mollard is in charge of the estate and has been the winemaker since 2003.
