Domaine Paul et Marie Jacqueson Rully 1er Cru "Préaux" red 2022

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2025 (August 2024). 93/100. Flavors of fruit jelly in the fleshy and polished texture of Préaux, a ripe wine with a powdery finish.

Technical Sheet written by the domaine :

Know-How: The soil is worked mechanically (no herbicides), only slow and shallow plowing maintains our soils. The harvest is entirely manual, and the grapes are sorted and destemmed as soon as they arrive at the winery.

All our red and white wines are aged 100% in oak barrels made by several Burgundian coopers with staves sourced from central France and dried for at least 2 years. We bottle our wines ourselves, in our cellar, after a very light filtration for the whites. The presence of a slight deposit in the bottle is natural and does not alter the tasting qualities of our wines.

NOTE: All our wines are harvested manually after maturity assessment.

Winemaking:

• The racking operation for red wines: After 12 months of aging in barrels and clarification with egg white (farm-fresh whole egg), we rack the reds before bottling. This operation, done gently and traditionally, requires skill and particular attention to "draw" the clear wine (we leave behind the fine lees and rack the clear wine until the last drop).
• Winemaking of red wines: The grapes, checked and sorted on a sorting table, are destemmed and transferred to the tanks where alcoholic fermentation takes place for about 15 to 18 days with daily punching down. The temperature is controlled with a cooling or heating system as needed. The young wine is then transferred to barrels where it will be aged in oak (of which 25% are new) for about 12 months.

Farming Method: We have always used two complementary control systems. Firstly, prophylactic measures allow us to act upstream on factors favoring the development of diseases. This includes mechanical and manual weeding. (We do not use any herbicide products).

We also carry out meticulous bud thinning to limit the overcrowding of vegetation, humidity, and thus the risk of fungal development. Finally, we regularly trim and top to promote aeration, always aiming to prevent the appearance of pests.

Thus, constant attention to climatic conditions and the evolution of the vines allows us to bring perfectly ripe, healthy, and quality clusters to maturity when conditions are right.

Subsequently, our approach is "reasoned," as we aim to use phytosanitary products rationally.

We strictly adhere to approved doses and set tolerance thresholds to minimize pollution related to the use of these products. To achieve this, we work in correlation with a plant protection organization.
