2015 Rully Rouge, La Chaume, Jean-Yves Devevey, Burgundy

Description

Deep, rich and purple, this has an excellent depth of colour in 2015. With very juicy, rich, deep cherry fruit, the wine is much bigger than usual, but the balance is there. It has a velvet texture, an intensity of bright red fruit, especially at the back, but with good acidity, fresh and toothsome. This is very long indeed. Drink 2018-2024.
Jasper Morris MW, Wine Buyer

Between the hail of 2012, ‘13 and ‘14 and the frost in 2016 the fabulous vintage of 2015 represents an oasis for Jean-Yves, who began to pick on 7th September. He thinks these are the best red wines of his career, and they feature a majority of whole-bunch vinification for the first time, while the whites have been progressing very well in barrel. Yields are still very low all round, but the wines are correspondingly concentrated.

About this wine

Pinot Noir

Pinot Noir is probably the most frustrating, and at times infuriating, wine grape in the world. However when it is successful, it can produce some of the most sublime wines known to man. This thin-skinned grape which grows in small, tight bunches performs well on well-drained, deepish limestone based subsoils as are found on Burgundy's Côte d'Or. Pinot Noir is more susceptible than other varieties to over cropping - concentration and varietal character disappear rapidly if yields are excessive and yields as little as 25hl/ha are the norm for some climats of the Côte d`Or.

Jean-Yves Devevey

You wouldn’t know it from his laid-back manner, but Jean-Yves Devevey is a busy man. Built from scratch, his domaine today amounts to eight hectares of vines. His holdings can be described as “diminutive but demanding”, especially when one considers his exacting standards, including organic farming. A popular figure among his fellow Burgundian winemakers, Jean-Yves is also something of a maverick, who has been flying the flag for low-sulphur wines since 2010. Moreover, he’s the only Burgundian we work with to have planted Savagnin – sadly, the wine is not for sale.
