Vintage Character Domaine de la Folie Rully Rouge 'Clos de Bellecroix' 2023 is a Village wine from the Rully appellation. Unsettled spring temperatures delayed budbreak enough to avoid the rare spring frosts. Summer thunderstorms relieved a persistent water deficit, and hot sunshine then concentrated sugar, flavour and colour. Heat above 35°C at the start of harvest led some growers to pick at night or before sunrise. The contrast between timely rain and late heat is central to this vintage's fruit and balance. For Pinot Noir from Rully, the season puts acidity and tannin texture in dialogue with red-fruit ripeness. In a Rully village-level bottling, expect supple fruit and easy movement on the palate. Late heat after timely summer rain makes the timing of picking especially consequential for balance.
Tasting Profile & Food Pairing Clos de Bellecroix puts juicy redcurrant and wild strawberry before oak. The producer describes a round, fruit-led palate, consistent with its stainless-steel élevage rather than a heavily toasted style. This is a dry Rully Pinot Noir with freshness and supple texture, suited to grilled entrecôte, roast poultry or mushroom dishes. Serve lightly cool to keep the red fruit lively.
Winery Background Domaine de la Folie is a family property in the northern Côte Chalonnaise. Clémence and Baptiste Dubrulle have managed its enclosed vineyards since 2010. Parcel selection keeps each of the estate's Rully and Bourgogne wines distinct. Parcel-by-parcel work keeps those sites recognisable rather than imposing one style. Farming and picking matter when a difficult season challenges ripeness. The vineyard designation names the exact source of the fruit.
