Description
The wine
François Millet was chief winemaker at Domaine Comte Georges de Vogüé in Chambolle-Musigny from 1986 to 2019, looking after some of Burgundy's most prized vineyards. He now makes his own wines with his wife and two sons. Les Rues lies beside the village of Chambolle, across the main road from the village vineyards. It sits at the end of the fan of alluvial stones washed down from the combe above Chambolle, so the soil is rockier and better drained than most Bourgogne sites, and it catches the breeze. The vines were planted in 1973.
Tasting notes

How to enjoy
Serve at 14–16°C. Try it with Saint Nectaire AOP, Mons Langres AOP or Marcel Petite Comté AOP 12 months.
