The small domaine of Henri and Paul Jacqueson had been the jewel of Rully for a considerable time. Paul Jacqueson followed in his father Henri’s footsteps, keeping the Burgundian village of Rully firmly on the viticultural map in the excellent value area of the Côte Chalonnaise. Today, Paul continues to push the envelope of quality, a feat of well over 50 years. His daughter Marie now joins him in the vineyards and winery, after completing her studies in the renowned viticultural school in Beaune. Paul is known for an almost obsessive, meticulous attention to detail in all aspects of the domaine, a trait which he is passing down to Marie.

The Rully Les Chaponnieres is made from 100% Pinot Noir from 1.7 hectares of 30 year old vines grown on clay/limestone soil. Les Chaponnieres is considered to be one of the top "lieu-dit" in the Chalonnaise. All grapes are hand-harvested and meticulously sorted. The grapes undergo one week of cold-soaking before fermentation. The wine is aged in oak barrels for 12 months, 25% of which are new. The wine is sublime with richness and depth, great fruit concentration and impeccable balance of fruit and oak. An excellent example of top quality Rully.
