Some barrels of this had still not finished their Malo when we visited so the wine had not yet been assembled. Our sample came from a barrel that had finished. However, still it seemed quite fermentary on the nose and hardish to judge. There is a great purity and polish to the fruit and nice brightness though.. will be great to see this once all together and in bottle. L&S (Nov 2021)

Vines planted in 2005, farmed by the Jacquesons who then buy the fruit. Black purple colour, this is powerful stuff. Huge intensity, a little more oak, 14.8%, seems to hold together with enough freshness, darker cherry fruit but no sunburn. Still, I prefer Nauges.

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.

Dark expressive thick fruit and a fine firm richness - could do with a year or two in bottle to show it's best - even if in Beaune it would already be on the restaurant tables.
