RULLY

2016 1er Cru Les Préaux Domaine Paul et Marie Jacqueson

Marie bought this parcel in January 2016 - it lies just next door to the Les Cloux vineyard. The vines have been really well worked 'just like a garden' she says and is very happy. Clay and Limestone here (like in Les Cloux) after that gets more sandy as you go up. This is a timely acquisition bearing in mind the frost damage to Les Cloux this year which savaged yields. Les Préaux was not nearly so badly affected. Bottling this in 2 weeks time, there is a touch of funk on nose, this is restrained, less ripe-feeling fruit. More earthy, less flash or sleek flow fir now - but good matiere.. L&S (Oct 2017)

The 2016 Rully 1er Cru Préaux is pretty and accessible, offering up an expressive nose of spicy red cherries and raspberries. On the palate, it's juicy, medium to full-bodied and supple, with a light framing of savory tannins and a generous core of fruit. It's an attractive red Rully to enjoy over the next decade.

Pale garnet. Some depth and oak here. Plus nice sweet fruit though less freshness than the Chaponnières. Drinking range: 2022 - 2027 Rating: 16 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Feb 2018)

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.

DELIVERY - TIMING: This is a primeur offer so the wines are not yet physically available for delivery. They will be shipped to the UK over the next eighteen months.
