This remarkable, utterly unique older-vine vineyard feeds directly from noble limestone and faces due south, just like the legendary “Crays.” Everything you want in sumptuous white Burgundy can be found here—notes of small red and white fruits on the nose and palate, a tell-tale sign of incredible complexity and depth. Sea salt and crushed chalk provide a base for a serious mouthful of lush, sweet and wonderfully ripe fruit. One of Rey's finest efforts to date, and a stunning example of the vintage.

Eve et Michel Rey Macon-Vergisson La Roche 2010

Mâconnais-Burgundy
This wine is our favorite “La Roche”—it goes without saying that this vineyard is the insider’s secret source for white Burgundy value. From the family's older-vine holdings on the slope of Vergisson; bottled unfined and unfiltered. Aromas of crushed stones, herbs and lemons blend with yellow flowers on the pure nose; the mouth reminds immediately of the noble cut and poise of a Puligny. Lacy and pure; flavors of lemon rind blend with classic terroir notes of chalk and smoke. Really a sensational wine and a top value, too.

France
/
Beaujolais
A mix of Burgundian spices and truffles blends with raspberries and blueberries a la Chambertin on the aromatic, expressive nose. Endlessly juicy and richly structured, with notes of milk chocolate with cream underneath a festival of black raspberries, cherries and purple plums on the saturated mouth. Notes of fresh ginger, black pepper and more baking spices appear on the long finish. Very complex, stunningly stacked and packed...

This wine is our favorite “La Roche”—it goes without saying that this vineyard is the insider’s secret source for white Burgundy value, but Rey pulled out all the stops in 2009. We have never tasted such an elegant balance of rich, ripe fruit and mineral vibrancy...

“Toasty orange, apple and brioche on the nose, with gentle minerality
adding energy. Juicy citrus and underripe orchard fruit flavors are
refreshingly dry, offering impressive focus and sappy finishing
persistence. Very nicely balanced wine.” — Stephen Tanzer’s
