Terroir

• Vineyard spread across 2 communes (Rully and Chagny), forming the northern tip of the Côte chalonnaise, at elevations between 220 m and 300 m.
• Clay-limestone soils over Upper Jurassic (limestone) and Middle Jurassic (marl) formations, covered by a stony alluvial spread. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)
• Shallow, dry soils over limestone; deeper soils with good water retention over marl layers; moderate overall fertility.
• Degraded oceanic climate with southern and continental influences; rainfall below 800 mm/year, very sunny summers, and Bise winds for part of the year. (via Wikipedia · CC BY-SA 4.0)

• In 1629, the aldermen of Chalon presented Louis XIII with 22 feuillettes (approximately 137 litres each) of Rully wine.

• Marly soils yield mineral-driven whites; red-brown clay-limestone soils produce deep, tannic reds with good ageing potential.
