Rully "Les Thivaux" 2024, Domaine Michel Juillot

For many, Rully is the great discovery of the Côte Chalonnaise. While prices in the Côte de Beaune can sometimes skyrocket, an estate like Michel Juillot offers stunning precision and integrity at a fair price. This 'Les Thivaux' is a textbook example of how Chardonnay on limestone soil should taste: sleek, mineral, and full of life.

This Chardonnay boasts a brilliant pale green-gold color and opens with an intriguing bouquet of white pepper and subtle spices. On the palate, you immediately experience that sought-after 'chiselled' structure: saline, fresh, and a hint of mint. The fruit—reminiscent of crisp pear—gains depth as you let the wine breathe in the glass. The finish is pure and ends on the typical mineral notes of the terroir.

🔍 Why choose Michel Juillot's Rully 'Les Thivaux'?

• 🍇 Chardonnay at its best: Sourced from a perfectly oriented South-West slope.
• 🪵 Subtle oak: Aged for 12 months in barrels, of which only 10% is new wood for perfect balance.
• 🌿 Sustainable: Crafted with HVE3-certified grapes and indigenous yeasts.
• 🧂 Flavor profile: Crisp white fruit, saline, and mineral precision.
• ⏳ Cellaring potential: Already delicious, but drinks beautifully until 2031.

🍴 Food & Wine Pairing: What’s on the menu? Thanks to its combination of freshness and depth, this Rully is a versatile partner at the table:

• 🐟 Saline starters: An absolute match with salmon gravlax.
• 🍗 Terrines: Lovely with poultry or fish terrines in aspic.
• 🧀 Cheese board: Pair with aged farmhouse goat cheese or a piece of authentic Comté.

🌡️ Serving suggestion: For the best experience, serve this wine at a temperature between 14°C and 15°C.

⛅ Vintage 2024 – Constant vigilance in the vineyard 2024 was a year of extremes. The Juillot family had to remain constantly alert due to abundant rainfall, frost, and even hail. While yields were low due to nature's whims, the quality is promising. The white wines from this harvest are particularly fresh, round, and saline with a beautiful 'crispness'.

🏡 About Domaine Michel Juillot – Generations of expertise Located in the heart of Mercurey, the Juillot family has been mentioned in local records as far back as 1404. Today, Laurent and his son Pierre (the 5th generation!) are at the helm. They combine historical respect with modern techniques, such as the use of a vertical press and gravity-fed tanks, giving the wines immense energy and precision.

🛒 In short: a serious white Burgundy for those who love precision.
