Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial - Rully Maizieres Rouge 2023
The Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial is today one of the essential references of Rully and the entire Côte Chalonnaise. Located in Burgundy, the estate has established itself through remarkable quality in both colors, with highly sought-after whites and increasingly refined reds. Vincent Dureuil-Janthial manages a vineyard of about 20 hectares, spread between Rully, Mercurey, Puligny-Montrachet, and Nuits-Saint-Georges, with a precise approach deeply attached to the balance of each site. His style is based on the purity of the fruit, the accuracy of ripeness, controlled aging, and a constant search for tension. Maizières Rouge 2023 perfectly illustrates this ability to give Rully Pinot Noir a serious, elegant, and refined expression. The generous 2023 vintage in Burgundy offers here a red of beautiful maturity, while retaining the freshness and delicate grain expected from a great Pinot of the Côte Chalonnaise. Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Rully Maizières Rouge 2023 thus presents itself as a very well-crafted village wine, precise and already very appealing.
The Rully Maizières Rouge 2023 cuvée is made from 100% Pinot Noir, grown on a clay-limestone terroir that favors the balance between aromatic finesse, structure, and freshness. This type of soil gives the wine a more serious foundation than a simple fruit red, while preserving the natural elegance of the grape variety. The Pinot Noir here expresses a range of fresh red fruits, fine spices, floral notes, and slightly smoky nuances. Available sources mention a balanced aging between fruit and wood, with about 33% new barrels, which adds depth without dominating the terroir expression. The palate is described as ample and tight, with fine, crunchy tannins still marked by the youth of the vintage. The style remains faithful to Vincent Dureuil-Janthial, with a structured matter, but never heavy or over-extracted. Maizières Rouge 2023 thus fits into a Burgundy Pinot Noir style that is both accessible, classy, and capable of evolving a few years in the cellar.
On tasting, Domaine Vincent Dureuil-Janthial Rully Maizières Rouge 2023 shows a bright ruby robe, deep without excess opacity. The nose may evoke red cherry, raspberry, wild strawberry, redcurrant, peony, sweet spices, and a subtly woody touch. On the palate, the wine is elegant, with a fruity attack, then a more structured body supported by fine and crunchy tannins. The freshness of the Pinot Noir balances the maturity of the vintage and gives the whole a beautiful sensation of length. The finish remains precise, slightly spicy and floral, with an impression of clean fruit and discreet minerality. This red Rully will ideally accompany roasted poultry, veal chop, pork tenderloin, duck with cherries, sautéed mushrooms, delicate Burgundian cuisine, or a soft cheese. It can be enjoyed after a short aeration but will gain harmony with a few years of aging.
