Very occasionally, we buy wines on trust without tasting them and this is one such occasion. As quantities are so tiny, samples weren’t available, but we have followed the domaine for over a decade and we have complete faith in this wine.

The Wine Advocate: “The 2023 Rully 1er Cru Meix Cadot is beautiful, wafting from the glass with notes of apricot, clear honey, toasted nuts and iodine. Medium- to full-bodied, satiny and suave, with a sweet core of fruit, lively acids and a long, mineral finish. It derives from vines planted in 1965. Drink now-2037.” 93 points

Vinous (Neal Martin): “The 2023 Rully Meix Cadot 1er Cru hails from vines planted in 1980. Like the previous vintage, it has an attractive bouquet containing quite vibrant notes of citrus fruit, walnut and a touch of smoke. The palate is well balanced, with a slightly honeyed texture countervailing acidic spices. This is a grippy, concentrated Rully with plenty of body that's long and persistent toward the finish. This will vie with the Chapitre for supremacy ... or you could just drink both. Drink now-2040.” (91-93) points
