Milan Rully Blanc, Burgundy, France

A 5 star Chardonnay from Burgundy, heaven. It is elegant and complex white Burgundy delivers pure, fresh fruit expression with a touch of richness. The palate is beautifully balanced, offering ripe apple, lemon, and a subtle hint of toasted almond, all wrapped in a silky texture. A lively acidity keeps it refreshing, leading to a long, persistent finish that lingers with minerality and finesse.

From the tiny village of Chassey-le-Camp, nestled between Santenay and Rully, Karl-Philippe Milan continues his family’s tradition of crafting expressive, fruit-forward wines with minimal intervention. Farming his 11-hectare estate under lutte raisonnée, he avoids excessive new oak, allowing the wine’s natural vibrancy and terroir-driven character to shine through. While Rully may not have the fame of Puligny or Chassagne, this wine is crafted with the same meticulous care—making it an exceptional find at a fraction of the price.
