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 : 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.
