Montagne La Folie. The Mountain of Madness. It is a name that demands attention — and a wine that fully justifies it.

Claudie Jobard is one of the most exciting winemakers in the Côte Chalonnaise, bringing a precision and passion to her Rully wines that is earning her an increasingly devoted following among those who know that the finest Burgundy is not always found in the most famous villages. Rully sits just south of the Côte de Beaune, in the heart of the Côte Chalonnaise — a region that has long been Burgundy’s best-kept secret, producing Chardonnay of real elegance and character at a fraction of the price of its more celebrated northern neighbours. Claudie’s Montagne La Folie comes from a stony, south-east facing vineyard in the north of the appellation — a site of exceptional natural quality, where the combination of poor, well-drained soils and excellent sun exposure produces fruit of real concentration and finesse. Fermented and aged for twelve months in 15% new oak barrels, the winemaking is as precise and considered as the viticulture: the oak perfectly judged, adding a gentle warmth and texture without ever dominating the fruit. The result is a white Burgundy of real character and completeness — ripe and fruity, with a crisp, vibrant texture, lovely freshness, and an excellent natural acidity that gives the wine a beautiful precision and length. Rully at its most compelling — and Claudie Jobard at her brilliant best. At £38.99, it is one of the most rewarding bottles in our range.
