Rully is a communal appellation of the Côte Chalonnaise, in the South of Burgundy, made up of 23 Premiers Crus climats.
White Rullys spread on a 246 ha area - including 69 ha of Premiers Crus - whereas red Rullys are produced on a 121 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.
The "Saint-Jacques" plot covers 1.5 hectares (2.47 acres) in the Rully village appellation. The origin of its name comes from an ancient place of passage for pilgrims going to Compostela.
