Nicole Lamarche Rully 1er Cru Marrissou Blanc 2023

Marrissou is the most northerly of Rully’s Premier Cru vineyards and also one of its best. Lamarche’s source lies under the Montagne de Remenot, at 150 to 200 metres. The bedrock is Oxfordian limestone under brown clay and stony topsoil. It shouldn't be surprising that Lamarche’s talent easily transfers to Chardonnay, given her delicate touch with Pinot Noir. Lamarche's Marrissou plot imparts a beautiful balance of fruit richness and minerality, so in the cellar she works with very lightly toasted barrels, and also very little stirring, to allow the natural character to shine. Elegant and precise, it is a compelling expression of white Burgundy from a commune that we know well and love.
