This appellation of the "Côte Chalonnaise", in the South of Burgundy, 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.
Rully benefits from 23 climates ranked in first cru, the climates favorable to the red wines are those located on the lowest hillsides. Among the most renowned climates are the Clos Saint Jacques, Chapel, Champs Cloux, La Pucelle, Grésigny...
The grapes were harvested by hand and the pressing was followed by a cold settling of 12 hours at 8°C. (46°F.).
Then the juice was put in tank and in barrels for a part (including 15% new oak) for both fermentation alcoholic and malolactic before a aged 10 months ageing on fine lees.
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.
