MAISON JESSIAUME
RULLY 2020
WHITE BURGUNDY
Maison Jessiaume’s historic estate, established in 1850, is located in the Santenay region in the Côte de Beaune, with thirty-seven acres of vines planted and wines produced from 15 different appellations. They farm their vineyards organically, and the winemaking approach is minimal, with as little intervention as possible utilizing hand harvesting, hand sorting, ambient yeast fermentation, gravity flow, and natural clarification.
Rully is an AOC in the northern Côte Chalonnaise, giving soft, generous whites with “both the coolness and the polish of marble,” according to the Bourgogne Wine Board. Maison Jessiaume fermented the grapes for the 2020 Rully in oak, aged them on the lees for 12 months, and then transferred them to stainless steel for four to six months before bottling, resulting in a pure, focused wine with complex flavor intensity and delightful drinkability.

“The Maison Jessiaume 2020 Rully opens with fresh floral notes of honeysuckle and acacia, ripe yellow apple, quince, bread dough, saffron, and wet rocks. The palate is crisp and clean with flavors of tangerine, lemon, and pineapple balanced with round flavors from lees aging. The finish is long and soft but leaves your mouth watering from bright acidity.”
