From mixed soil of limestone and clay with stones too. Similar to Gresigny but with more Marne. Essentially a 'Classic Bourgogne terroir' says Erell. After the Chaponnieres, there is a darker line - more brood - fruit is black, here sweet plum and blackcurrants. Then a good bite of acid that keeps this zipping along, without ever interrupting the joy of that fruit. L&S (Oct 2023)

The 2022 Rully Marissou 1er Cru has a more floral bouquet than the Le Meix Guillaume Rouge, with wilted rose petals infusing the red cherry and raspberry fruit. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, good depth and ample grip, though the Le Meix Guillaume delivers the precision on the finish. Tasted at merchants' 2022 Burgundy tastings in London. Drinking range: 2026 - 2034 Rating: 87-89 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Jan 2024)
Domaine Ninot
Domaine Ninot has 13 hectares split 50/50 between Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, with Rully and Rully 1er Cru in white and red, and 2 hectares of red Mercurey. They have been working organically since 2017, and the first vintage to be certified organic is 2020.
The domaine is run by Erell, who is in charge of the cellar and the commercial side, and her brother Flavien in the vineyard. The family has had roots in the region since the 14th century, and Erell and Flavien's grandfather was one of the leaders of the appellation of Rully when it was established in 1939. However he died when their father Pierre-Marie was only 14, and the domaine, split between five children, had to be sold. Pierre-Marie kept his part of the inheritance, 5 hectares of vines, and began again, gradually adding to the holdings by fermages and purchases. Once Erell had completed her studies in oenology and commerce, and had gained experience by working abroad, he handed over the keys to the cellar.
