Origin

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

The result of a blend of several Premier Cru parcels, this cuvée brings together different facets of the Rully terroir. Parcels with very generous soil, which is not affected by drought. East/southeast exposure, with a flatter piedmont topography. Subsoil composed of an Oxfordian substrate of lithographic and oolitic limestone.

Vinification and maturing

The grapes were harvested by hand and transported in crates. Maceration lasted 14 to 18 days, allowing colour, aromas and structure to be extracted. Vinification took place without cold pre-fermentation, in temperature-controlled concrete vats, with daily pumping over and some punching down. The wine was then aged for around 12 months in oak barrels, 25% of which were new, to enhance its complexity. Earth filtration preceded bottling.

Vintage : 2022

Uncertain conditions all the year long, but mild in the end throughout the season!

The harvest, running from 25 August to 16 September. The grapes were beautifully healthy, with varying degrees of ripeness depending on the exposure.

Balanced, honest white wines. Maturing ought to bring just the right degree of roundness to red wines with varying qualities, depending on the maturity of each plot. We have both sophisticated, fruity red wines with a good Burgundy tension as well as rich, warmer ones.

A pleasant vintage in terms of quality with excellent yields for both whites and reds.

The vinification choices have been crucial as to whether to favour acidity or the alcoholic degree.
