Delicious! It’s the 2017 Domaine de Villaine Rully 1er Cru ‘Les Margotés.’
This wine has a beautiful medium lemon (trending gold) hue and offers medium(+) intensity of aromas and flavors including ripe star fruit, melon, honeydew, white nectarine, just ripe mango, yellow apple, pear, and quince, next to gardenia, white blossom, fennel, chalk, and cream.
It paired wonderfully with the grilled halibut topped with basil, garlic, lemon butter. — 3 months ago

Red fruits, well balanced, just a hint of spice and forest. Excited to see where this goes from here — a month ago

2022/8. As I’ve noted lately, it feels like the de Villaine whites have added another level in the last several years - deeper, more complex and more satisfying, without sacrificing any joyousness and without trying to be Meursault or anything like that. — 2 years ago
