Maison Chanzy Rully Blanc En Rosey 2016

Rully is a village with a long history. It boasts a chateau which has been in the same family for six centuries, a church with an elegant bell-tower, as well as fine houses and parks. The abbey of Saint-Benigne in Dijon, the powerful Maison de Vergy, and the Dukes of Burgundy have all played their part in the history of these vineyards in the Cote Chalonnaise. Rully was granted its AOC in 1939 and now produces red wines (Pinot Noir) and white wines (Chardonnay) with both village and Premier Cru appellations. Since the early 19th century it has been, in addition, an important centre for the making of CRÉMANT DE BOURGOGNE.

The length, breadth and fruit of Rully call for delicate foods and tender flesh. One thinks immediately of fried river-fish, sea-fish in white sauce, or hot crustaceans. Its fruit means that it adapts well to hard cheeses such as Comte, and conducts an amicable dialogue with fine poultry in cream sauces. It can also be enjoyed as a pre-dinner drink. Serving Temperature: 12° to 14°
