Presentation

Located in the heart of Rully, in the Côte Chalonnaise, Domaine Jacques Dury was founded in 1955, evolving from a mixed farming estate into a dedicated and passionate winegrowing domaine. Today, the third and fourth generations of the family—Hervé and Rémi Dury—are at the helm, with Rémi named Young Winemaker of the Year for the Côte Chalonnaise in 2023. The estate covers around 16 hectares, primarily on the limestone and marl-rich soils of southern Rully, enjoying an ideal east-facing exposure that brings a remarkable balance of freshness and precision to the wines. Its range is a true reflection of Burgundy’s identity: white wines of great finesse, such as the renowned Rully Premier Cru Meix Cadot, Margotés, and Montmorin, crafted from vines sometimes over a century old (planted in 1945–46); and refined red wines from Pinot Noir grown on predominantly red clay soils. Guided by a strong family vision and an unwavering commitment to quality, Domaine Jacques Dury perfectly embodies the harmonious union of tradition and modernity, producing wines that are elegant, structured, and marked by a distinctive minerality.
