The only thing I love better than a good white Burgundy in summer is a good white Burgundy at nearly half-price.
That's why you should jump on this 2008 Rully from Louis Latour, marked-down for Pennsylvania's Chairman du Vin from $27 to $15.99.
The commune village of Rully is the northernmost appelation of the Côte Chalonnaise, just south of the more prestige vineyards of the cooler Côte-d'Or, but coveted by in-the-know drinkers for producing whites that overperform for the price.
Mega-négociant Louis Latour is not necessarily the best known Rully label, but Latour's 2008 vintage is nonetheless a live wire in the bottle, with floral notes on the nose, and steel-aged chardonnay grapes that have a green apple crispness followed by a balanced finish that reminds of nuts, vanilla and tingly mineral spice.
