About the Domain
Domaine Rois Mages, founded in 1984 by Anne-Sophie Debavelaere, is located in Rully, in the heart of Burgundy. The estate covers approximately 11 hectares and produces wines known for their elegance and expression of the terroir.
Vineyard and Terroir
The "Plante Moraine" vineyard is located on the slopes of Rully and benefits from an eastern exposure, ensuring optimal sunshine. The soil is primarily clay and limestone, which contributes to the wine's minerality and complexity.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand and carefully selected. After a gentle pressing, the juice undergoes temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve its freshness and fruity aromas. The wine then ages for several months on the fine lees, which contributes to the wine's texture and depth.
Tasting notes
In the glass, the wine presents a bright, pale yellow color with golden reflections. The nose reveals delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits, and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with flavors of green apple, pear, and subtle mineral notes. The finish is elegant and lingering, with a refreshing acidity.
Serving Temperature and Gastronomic Combinations
Serve this wine at a temperature of 10-12°C. The Rully "Plante Moraine" is a versatile accompaniment to a variety of dishes, including grilled fish, shellfish, poultry in creamy sauces, and soft cheeses such as Brie or Camembert. Its freshness and elegance also make it an excellent aperitif.
