Ageing potential

As all other Burgundy white village wines, Rully blanc will improve gradually over a period of about 3 to 8 years after the vintage.

Origins

A village appellation in the Côte Chalonnaise, harvested in the village of Rully.

The appellation's vineyards cover 370 hectares, 2/3 of which are white, not far from the magnificent vineyards of Puligny Montrachet and Meursault to the north and Mercurey and Givry to the south.

Rully is a very old vineyard, developed by the Dukes of Burgundy. Its vineyards stretch over slopes at an altitude of over 200 metres, overlooking the Saône plain.

Subtle differences in the wines are due to differences in soil, exposure and altitude, all of which vary considerably hereabouts. At heights of 230 to 300 metres, the coastal slopes produce wines that can rival the best of the nearby Côte de Beaune.

Vinification and maturing

Harvested by hand, the grapes are sorted and pressed on arrival at the winery. The must is then cold-sedimented (8°C) for 12 hours before being placed in vats and partly in oak barrels (15% of which are new) for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation, followed by 10 months' ageing on fine lees.

The Weather: Uncertain conditions, 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.
