Rully Rouge Premier Cru 'Preaux', Domaine Paul et Marie Jacqueson, 2023

Est. delivery in 2026

The 2023 vintage in Burgundy was smooth overall, though two hailstorms in July caused a 25% reduction in crop on the hillside Premier Crus, Pucelle and Margotés. Marie and Paul maintain a balanced approach, focusing on texture and vineyard expression with a gentle use of oak: 12 months in 15% new 228L barrels. Larger 500L barrels also preserve the fruit’s vitality in Margotés. Whites have now been bottled—Premier Crus two weeks ago and village-level wines two months prior—while the reds are resting in tank, set for bottling in late November. This thoughtful approach preserves each wine’s distinctiveness and terroir.

"From vines planted in the 1960s, Préaux shows impressive concentration. Notes of blueberries and tarragon on the nose lead to lighter red and blue fruits on the palate, offering length and structure."
