ABOUT THIS WINE
The Michel Briday Rully Clos de Remenot 2020 is a 100% Chardonnay from the Rully AOC in Burgundy, France. The Clos de Remenot is a unique monopole vineyard of 0.54 hectares, with vines averaging 45 years old, situated on the south-facing Montagne de Remenot. The vineyard's soil is characterized by clay and pebbles over limestone bedrock. The estate, founded in 1976 and now managed by Stéphane and Sandrine Briday, emphasizes vineyard respect and minimal intervention. The wine's distinctiveness comes from its exceptional terroir and low yields, which contribute qualities often associated with higher appellations.

WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Michel Briday Rully Clos de Remenot 2020 is produced from hand-harvested Chardonnay grapes. Fermentation begins naturally in 300-liter and 400-liter barrels. The wine then undergoes aging in barrels, with a proportion of new French oak (10-20%), with the larger barrel size contributing to a subtle oak integration. The estate's winemaking philosophy emphasizes minimal intervention to allow the fruit and terroir to express themselves.
