Origin

The Rully appellation, located on the Côte Chalonnaise, offers wines similar to those of the Côte de Beaune. This ancient 370-hectare vineyard, two-thirds of which is planted with white grapes, stretches across hillsides at an altitude of over 200 metres, with mainly eastern exposure and clay-limestone soils. Rully has 23 Premier Cru climats, with reds from the lower slopes and whites from the higher areas.

The diversity of soils and altitudes (230 to 300 metres) produces varied wines that can rival prestigious crus such as Puligny-Montrachet and Meursault. This geological richness gives Rully wines a beautiful complexity, combining finesse, structure and ageing potential.

Vinification and maturing

Harvested by hand, the grapes are sorted before undergoing pneumatic pressing and cold settling. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats for precise temperature control and good homogeneity. The wine is then aged in 228-litre barrels (25% of which are new) on fine lees for 9 months, with occasional stirring until malolactic fermentation, in order to develop complex aromas while preserving the purity of the fruit.

Vintage : 2023

The ideal weather conditions in Burgundy in 2023, characterised by a favourable spring, a hot summer with cool nights, moderate rainfall and an early autumn harvest, played a key role in the high yields and exceptional quality of the grapes at harvest time.

The white wines are distinguished by their elegance, complexity and liveliness. Subtle aromas of white fruit, citrus and floral notes add to their remarkable freshness.

The red wines are powerful and well-balanced, with aromas of red and black fruit, as well as spicy and mineral nuances. The silky tannins add an elegant structure, promising harmonious ageing.

In short, these are expressive, fruity wines with very fine aromatic profiles.
