Domaine Roux 2022 Rully Blanc "Les Agnieres"

The 2022 vintage in Burgundy was marked by warm, sunny conditions and minimal frost damage compared to prior years. In Rully, the growing season allowed for even, healthy ripening, producing fruit with excellent balance between sugar and acidity. The warmth contributed to ripe, generous aromatics, while cool nights preserved freshness. For Chardonnay, the result was wines with expressive fruit, rounded texture, and a vibrant mineral backbone.

Tasting Notes & Serving Suggestions:
Bright and expressive profile, with aromas of white peach, pear, and acacia blossom, underpinned by subtle vanilla and almond cream from gentle oak aging. The palate is medium-bodied and supple, offering flavors of ripe apple, citrus zest, and a touch of honeyed minerality. Balanced acidity gives the wine freshness, while a smooth texture leads into a persistent, lightly nutty finish.
Serve lightly chilled at 10–12°C (50–54°F) in Burgundy-style white wine glasses. This wine pairs beautifully with grilled sole, butter-poached lobster, roast chicken with lemon and thyme, or creamy vegetable risotto. It is drinking well now for its freshness and aromatic charm but will gain complexity over 4–6 years in the cellar.
