Presentation of the appellation
Rully is a village with a long history. It boasts a château which has been in the same family for six centuries, a church with an elegant bell-tower, as well as fine houses and parks.

Côte Chalonnaise 2024 (white)
2024 will remain etched in the memory of the French as a rainy year—very rainy indeed. Winegrowers faced a host of climatic challenges (frost, hail, heavy rainfall) that quickly affected potential yields. Fortunately, the dry, sunny weather in August allowed the grapes to ripen fully. In Côte Chalonnaise, given the difficult weather conditions, quality here is outstanding. Expressive noses reveal intense fruit (apricot, pineapple, peach) and subtle floral hints. The palate is fresh, dense, and energetic, with excellent structure and a refreshing mineral finish. 2024 is a generous vintage with promising aging potential.
