Roux Père & Fils - Rully - Les Agnières - Blanc - 2017

Wine:

Now at a beautiful, fully developed stage of evolution, the 2017 White Rully Les Agnières showcases a beautiful balance and a mineral undertone. The pure and fresh nose, as fragrant as a blooming Chardonnay, remains very subtle, with the slightly luxurious creaminess of its maturation. The palate is very mature, full-bodied, with a chalky freshness that is typical of this high quality sector of the Chalonnais region. The flavors and the delicate bitters underline the palate in a very harmonious way. Rated 93/100 by our Selection Committee.
