Presentation
Founded in 1946 by Henri Jacqueson, the estate was a pioneer in promoting the Rully appellation, contributing to its influence. His son Paul Jacqueson continued this quest for excellence, and today, his children Marie and Pierre perpetuate this heritage with passion. The estate extends over 18 hectares, spread over Rully, Mercurey, and Bouzeron, with 55% red wines and 45% white wines. Sustainable cultivation preserves the natural balance of the vines. The harvest is manual, followed by meticulous sorting of the berries. Vinifications are precise, with controlled fermentations and aging in oak barrels of several wines. The whites stand out for their tension and minerality, while the reds reveal an elegant structure and silky tannins. Our uniqueness: meticulous artisanal work that fully expresses the diversity of the Côte Chalonnaise terroirs.

Tasting
The nose is bright and pure, offering aromas of white fruits: apple, pear, and white peach. Mineral, saline, and slightly iodine-like notes bring clarity and precision to the profile. A delicate hint of honey appears at the very end, suggesting excellent ageing potential.
Food pairings
This wine pairs perfectly with creamy poultry dishes, pan-seared freshwater fish, or saltwater fish in white sauce, as well as warm shellfish preparations. Aged cooked cheeses like Comté also make a harmonious match.
