BELLEVILLE 19 RULLY FOSSE

La Fosse means a ditch that describes the location of the vineyard from which Domaine Belleville Rully La Fosse 1er Cru wine is made. The ditch originated from the Thalie River in a natural way and provides the constantly slightly moist clay and limestone by which Rully is widely known. A quarter of the barrels are new to each harvest, and 30-year-old vines are still pruned, as are leaves and young bunches to control both the lushness of the canopy and the yield.

A year in wood and a year in glass before sunrise is enough time for a quarter of new oak to wane. The wine is crystal clear and clear, yellow with gray highlights. Aromas of fresh, young fruit laced with a soft lactic acid base spiced with hazelnuts, light caramel and butter.
