Jaffelin Rully 2023

Rully, located in the Côte Chalonnaise, produces wines which are expressive and pleasant to drink when young. The grapes come from a parcel located to the southwest of the village, above the famous Les Pucelles 1er Cru. Bordered by forest, this terroir retains plenty of freshness and is one of the last to be harvested in the area. The grapes are harvested by hand and fermentation takes place entirely in stainless steel vats, after which the wines are transferred by gravity into French oak barrels (20% new). The lees are not stirred (bâtonnage) during ageing, which lasts 11 months so the wine isn't overtly rich. Bright golden in hue with green tints and a very expressive fruit and floral nose. Straightforward on entry to the palate and showing tropical fruit on the finish.. The palate is wonderfully approachable and has a nice chunk of tropical fruit on the finish.

Produced by Maison Jaffelin

Jaffelin, the smallest of the great Burgundy wine houses, entered a new chapter in its history in 2004, when it completely renovated its vat room and fitted it out with high precision equipment. Marinette Garnier, oenologist-winemaker, creates these "hand-made" wines in this magical location in the historical centre of Beaune. Since then, Jaffelin continues to present the very best of the finest Burgundy terroirs within a comprehensive collection of wines, which are recognised in prestigious wine competitions and appreciated by connoisseurs around the world.
