Colour White
Origin France, Burgundy
District Côte Chalonnaise
Village Rully
Classification 1er Cru
ABV 13%
Vineyard La Pucelle

Tasted after just 2 days in bottle. More cream than the village wine, more ripeness. Wood really well tucked in. Great feel, broad, ripe fruit - nice weight of fruit - but still good shape - nice bright lines. Detailed. Good impact and flows on beyond with a nice bright kick. Mostly Calcaire with 30% Clay. Focus and purity - but not slight. L&S (Dec 2017)

A classy white, the 2016 Rully 1er Cru La Pucelle offers up aromas of white currants, fresh peaches and dried flowers, framed by a subtle top note of caramel. On the palate, it's medium-bodied, supple and glossy, with an elegant, open-knit profile and a clean finish. It's best adapted to near-term consumption and represents a safe choice on a restaurant wine list. Drinking range: 2018 - 2021 Rating: 89 William Kelley, The Wine Advocate (Jul 2018)

Fresh apple fruit with generous oak spice coming through on the palate. Unsubtle, but full of flavour and richness, with long dairy persistence Drinking range: 2017 - 2021 Rating: 16.5 Richard Hemming MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2018)

I will start with a wine which looks superb in this vintage and which will not trouble the bank account. 2016 Rully, 1er Cru La Pucelle, Domaine Paul et Marie Jacqueson was a refreshing, chiselled, bright Chardonnay with ample lust for life and precocity making it a banker for everyone’s fridge door.

P & M Jacqueson

The domaine was founded in 1946 by Henri Jacqueson and passed to his son Paul. Marie joined her father in 2006 and since 2015 she and her brother Pierre run the estate, now known simply as P&M Jacqueson. The domaine consists of 18 hectares of vines, mostly in Rully, but also 5 in Mercurey and some in Bouzeron. The team also tend vines owned by their neighbours and make some beautiful wines from other peoples' fruit that they themselves have worked all year.

Traditional methods meticulously applied inspire everything they do: the grapes are harvested by hand and vinified in classical fashion, before an élevage in barrel (up to 25% new wood for the reds, just 20% for the 1er Cru Whites). The domaine has become adept at a sophisticated use of barrels, the élevage here is key to the quality they consistently achieve.
