Origin

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.

Vinification and maturing

Harvest took place on September 2021, the 21 and 22th in our Premier Cru Molesme plots.

Grapes were handpicked and carefully sorted, then carried in 16 kg boxes to protect them from crush and compaction.

After being sorted again on the table at their arrival at the winery, the grapes were placed in vats for maceration during 14 to 16 days. Then a cold pre-fermentation stage came for 24 hours and the start of the vinification for around 10 to 14 days.

The vinification continued in thermo-regulated concrete vats with daily pumping over and very few pigeages (cap punching placed at the beginning of fermentation).

Then, the wine was aged for 8 months in oak barrels with 25% new oak.

Light filtration before bottling.
