Origin

This appellation of the "Côte Chalonnaise" sometimes resembles the wines of the Côte de Beaune, both on red wines and on white wines. The Rully vineyard is located not far from the magnificent vineyards of Puligny Montrachet and Meursault to the north, Mercurey and Givry to the south.

The vineyard of Rully is very old, it was developed by the Dukes of Burgundy. Its vineyard extends over hills of more than 200 meters of altitude overlooking the Saône plain.

Vinification and maturing

The grapes are harvested by hand and after pressing the grapes, a cold settling of 12 hours at 8°C. (46°F.) is made. Then the juice was put in tank and in barrels (15% new one) for both fermentation alcoholic and malolactic and aged 10 months on its fine lees.

Vintage : 2019

2019 was a unique and very changeable year. It brought its own stresses, while harvesting passed without a hitch.

The weather was hot and dry and the 2019 grapes were harvested in perfect health, aside from being scorched here and there.

The skins were very thick, promising good color, and the whites were very aromatic.

Since the start of the 20th century, every vintage that has ended with a “9” has been wonderful.

The only downside to this one is again below-average volumes.
