2022 Domaine de la Folie Rully Rouge 'Clos de Bellcroix'

100% Pinot Noir from 11.8 acres of vines planted in 1962 On the hillside sloping down to the town of Chagny. North-northeastern exposure. Hand harvested. No herbicides or pesticides. Most of the grapes are destemmed. Made with light punch downs and raised in tank. Only 3,000 six packs made. 

Folie sits on the crown of the Montagne de la Folie, occupying the northernmost zone of the Rully appellation and its highest elevations. Moreover, all but one of the domaine’s vineyards are monopoles, which is all but unheard of along the Côte. It has been in Clémence Durelle’s family for three centuries and since 2010, when she assumed the reins, completely reinvigorated.

90 points, Vinous Media. "The 2022 Rully Clos de Bellecroix comes from a vineyard outside Chagny with a north/northeast orientation and is predesigned to be a gourmand Pinot Noir without any barrel influence. The lovely nose offers freshly picked raspberry and wild strawberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with gentle grip, impressive weight, and dark berries laced with a very slight flintiness towards the finish. Absolutely delicious and perfect for drinking over the next five to eight years."
