Domaine Jacqueson Rully 1er Cru "Grésigny" Dry White 2022

RVF Guide to the Best Wines of France 2025 (August 2024). 93/100. Notes of white flowers and citrus in Grésigny, ideally ripe and finely spiced on the finish, supported by very judicious aging: perhaps the most persistent of the whites.

Technical Sheet written by the domaine :

Age of the vines: Plot of 80 ares located in the south of the appellation, on the hillside of the whites. Planted in 1950.

Grape variety: chardonnay

Origin of the name: From Gracinius, the first Gallo-Roman owner of a rural domaine that extended over this climate.

Soil: East, southeast exposure. Very stony brown limestone soils.

Vine management and vinification: Simple Guyot pruning. Manual harvesting, sorting, direct pressing, gravity settling, and alcoholic fermentation in barrels.

Vinification and production of white wines: Harvesting is done exclusively by hand. The grapes are sorted right from the vineyard. They are then brought to the winery and directly pressed using a pneumatic press. The pressing cycle depends on the cuvees, the year, and the health condition. The collected juices are tasted and analyzed.
Depending on the vintages, the first juices are discarded. The musts are then put into tanks and naturally settled by decantation. After 24 or 36 hours, we draw off the clear juices and some "golden" lees, rich in nutrients, to put directly into barrels where the alcoholic fermentation will take place.
Bâtonnage is not systematic and depends on the cuvees and vintages.
Bottling will take place 12 or 18 months later, after a light filtration.

Aging and bottling: 100% in barrels, including 15% new barrels for 18 months. Bottling preceded by a light filtration.
