Big and bright compared to their Rullys. Much more grip here - real texture which is appealing and feels serious. This is much more intense to taste, and much more youthful. Totally delicious though, with dark berries adding gravitas to the prettier red berried mulch. Layered and complex. Really charming but this will need a moment to really rise - if you can resist.

Lightish crimson. Fine scent: red-fruited and a touch floral. Also a light stemmy herbal note, well judged. Finest of tannins. Elegant and very long. Drinking range: 2025 - 2030 Rating: 16.5 Julia Harding MW, www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2024)
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.
