Domaine Antoine Reniaume Rully Blanc 'Chene'

The young Antoine Reniaume might be fairly new on the scene in Burgundy, but his wines do not "behave" that way. Case in point is his Rully Blanc 'Chene,' a wine that we would happily put into a blind tasting against much more expensive White Burgs from the Cote de Beaune. 

Just 1,500 bottles were produced in the stellar 2023 vintage, and the wine comes from a tiny parcel of 30-60+ year-old, organically-farmed vines. Aged for 12 months in neutral oak barrels, it is a very complete, complex, and layered White Burgundy. Stunning aromas of apricot, poached pear, lemon curd, and spice are front and center, with subtle nuances of flinty/chalky minerality underneath. Bravo Monsieur Reniaume!
