Rully Blanc 1er Cru, “Les Raclots”

Jean-Marc’s friend’s parcel in Les Raclots is 60 years old, planted in the appellation’s classic clay-limestone terrain. This cuvée offers a saline impression with good power and depth of fruit, and a sense of underlying richness that stops short of viscosity. Les Raclots more than holds its own against some of Jean-Marc’s more gras-oriented Chassagne-Montrachet 1er crus, and it will age terrifically.
