Presentation
Founded in 1946 by Henri Jacqueson, the estate was a pioneer in promoting the Rully appellation, contributing to its reputation. His son Paul Jacqueson continued this quest for excellence, and today, his children Marie and Pierre perpetuate this heritage with passion.
The estate covers 18 hectares, spread over Rully, Mercurey, and Bouzeron, with 55% red wines and 45% white wines. Sustainable farming helps preserve the natural balance of the vines. Harvesting is done by hand, followed by meticulous sorting of the berries.
