I think of it as more like a dipthong, perhaps even two syllables (Reuh-ee-yee). Where's Sharon when we need her?originally posted by Cliff:

Somewhere between ruh-yee and roy-yee.
I would pronounce it closer to the former.
Strangely enough, I had a discussion of this last Wednesday with Stephane Briday, from Rully. He said even in France, where the correct pronunciation should in theory clarify things, people get Rully (Rue-yee) and Reuilly (Reuh-ee-yee) confused. Only half tongue-in-cheek, he said he had taken to calling his wine Rue-lee, with a hard L, just so people remembered the difference.

Re Reuilly, I think that Reuh-yee does the job. I confirm that I have always heard Rully pronounced with hard Ls; good value red and white Burgs made there by Dureuil-Janthial and Jacqueson, both of whom visit us in Belgium from time to time and let us hear how they pronounce the name of their village http://fr.wiktionary.org/wiki/Rully .

As I told a client who only wanted 'the very best' in Muscadet, the basic cuvées are where the truth and core of any estate are revealed. If you make a great 2 Euro (okay, probably 3 nowadays) Muscadet, because you care, then I want to work with you. Same for the Rhône or anywhere else, really.
ETA: WTF is wrong with the HTML on this site? Politburo, get your act together or I'll go all Bo Xilai on you. Why does the frigging Euro sign not show up?
so who is going to take after Gilman and tweet their vintages of the decade in Muscadet?
