The wine region of Rully
Northern gateway to the Côte Chalonnaise and cradle of Crémant de Bourgogne: signature Chardonnay as king white (~65%) — pale gold with green hints, fresh and chiseled with notes of citrus, white flowers, hazelnut, light honey and a mineral touch, taut finish. Pinot Noir with supple red fruits (cherry, raspberry, redcurrant) in indulgent reds. Emblematic Crémant de Bourgogne. AOC (1939), ~360 ha on Rully and Chagny, 23 Premiers Crus, marl-limestone slopes, semi-continental.
The wine region of Burgundy
Absolute reference for great terroir wines: opulent, mineral Chardonnay in whites (chiselled Chablis, buttery Meursault, majestic Montrachet), fine and silky Pinot Noir in reds (full-bodied Gevrey, structured Pommard, delicate Volnay). Exceptional age-worthy wines with complex notes - red fruits, undergrowth, butter, hazelnut. Some lively Aligoté and light Gamay (Mâconnais). 29,500 ha, 84 tiered AOCs (Régionale, Village, 1er Cru, Grand Cru), 1,247 UNESCO Climats.
The word of the wine: Performance
Quantity of grapes harvested per hectare. In AOC, the average yield is limited on the proposal of the appellation syndicate, validated by the Inao. The use of high-performance plant material (especially clones) and better control of vine diseases have increased yields. This is not without consequences on the quality of the wines (dilution) and on the state of the market (too much wine). We must not over-simplify: low yields are not synonymous with quality, and it is often in years with generous harvests that we find the greatest vintages (1982 and 1986 in Bordeaux, 1996 in Champagne, 1990 and 2005 in Burgundy...).
