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 Preaux Rully Premier Cru is made from 100% Pinot Noir. The vineyard is incredibly steep and consists mostly of clay soil, planted in 1950. All fruit is destemmed and aged for 12 months in barrel after fermentation. The result is a soft, fruit-forward wine that features impeccable balance of flavor concentration, soft tannins and refreshing acidity.
