Rully AOC
Vineyard of the Côte Chalonnaise.
Are you a lover of Burgundy fine wines? The Côte Chalonnaise wine region produces fine wines of historical and international renown, including Rully.
The Rully AOC, located in the north of the Côte Chalonnaise, between Bouzeron and Mercurey, extends over a vineyard of about 350 hectares. The appellation produces both red and white wines and competes with the best crus of the Côte de Beaune. The white wines of the Chardonnay grape variety delight with their golden colour, tinged with green, before charming with a lovely bouquet of perfumes. With good ageing potential, they excel in aromas of hedge flowers such as acacia, hawthorn, honeysuckle and elderberry, as well as aromas of violets, lemon and white peach, before evolving into quince and dried fruit. Full-bodied and long on the palate, their finesse is remarkable. The red wines are made from the Pinot Noir grape variety and seduce with their cherry ruby to dark garnet colour. They give off aromas of black and red fruits, lilac, rose petals, evolving towards cooked fruit. On the palate, the tannins reveal a wine with a slight tightening of the aftertaste which gives them a good sign of persistence. These wines are generous and tasty enough to be enjoyed with roasts, stews and coq au vin. Domaine Chanson Père et Fils, Domaine de Villaine and Maison Louis Jadot and Closerie des Alisiers are particularly good examples of this appellation.
