Antonin Rodet runs the vineyard of this ancient fortified Château dating back to the 12th Century, symbol of the village of Rully, and property of the same family since its origins. 12 hectares, of which one third are Premiers Crus, producing about 80% white wines.
Rully is a communal appellation made up of 23 Premiers Crus climats. White Rullys spread on a 261 ha area - including 68 ha of Premiers Crus - whereas red
Rullys are produced on a 116 ha area of which 28 are Premiers Crus.
Rully was named after a rich roman, Rubilius, who built a villa and founded the village during the roman occupation. It was at first named Rubiliacum and it evolved through the years to become the current Rully.
2015 Harvest from September the 4th to September the 10th.
Grapes are harvested by hand and totally destemmed to avoid any kind of bitterness or unwanted vegetal aromas. Maceration lasts about 3 weeks in order to get wines with a deep color, complex aromas and as a consequence a good ageing potential. Traditional vinification is carried out in temperature-controlled concrete vats – that will allow us to master the fermentation temperatures thanks to the great inertia of concrete - with daily pumping-over and stirring occasionally. Alternating those two methods is a good way to obtain balanced wines because the tannins are not too much extracted. Then, the wine is aged for 9 months in oak barrels with 25% new oak.
