Rully Paul & Marie Jacqueson 2023

The wine

Brisk and racy, this Rully may be suitable for drinking when young, it deserves to be kept for a few months to settle. Vinified and aged in barrels (20% new barrels), it offers up a certain aromatic and flavoursome richness which makes it perfect with white meat, fish and crustaceans. Wine lovers who prefer to savour the wine for itself will be able to enjoy it as an aperitif.

About the Producer Paul & Marie Jacqueson

Henri Jacqueson (Paul's father) took over the family land and planted it with vines. Gradually, he expanded the domaine by buying well placed parcels in Mercurey and especially in Rully. Currently, Paul (who joined his father in 1972), his wife Pierrette and their daughter Marie (who took over in 2007) own 12 hectares of well-distributed vines, mainly in Rully, but also in Mercurey (1. 3ha) and Bouzeron (0.8ha). Their soils are mechanically worked (no weed killers) because according to Paul Jacqueson, only slow and repeated ploughing properly maintains the soil. The harvest is entirely manual and the grapes are sorted and destemmed as soon as they arrive at the winery. The red wines, like the whites, are laid for 12 months in oak barrels made by several Burgundy coopers with staves from the Troncay forest and dried for at least two years. The proportion of new barrels is generally 20% for whites and 25% for reds.
