A Rully Village true to the tradition of the Côte Chalonnaise

The estate

The Fagot family has been established in Corpeau, between Puligny-Montrachet and Chassagne-Montrachet, since 1860, although the wine estate was officially founded in 1920. Now run by Jean-Charles Fagot, a third-generation winemaker trained at the Lycée Viticole de Beaune, the estate covers approximately 4 hectares in Corpeau and Chassagne-Montrachet. As a négociant-éleveur, Jean-Charles Fagot vinifies, ages and bottles all of his wines himself, complementing this work with his activity as a restaurateur at the Auberge du Vieux Vigneron.

The vineyard

This Rully Village 2025 comes from hillside vineyards in Rully, the northernmost village of the Côte Chalonnaise. The south-east-facing plot rests on clay-limestone soils, locally covered with lighter sandy deposits. The Chardonnay vines that make up this cuvée are farmed according to the principles of lutte raisonnée.

Winemaking and ageing

Made from hand-harvested grapes, this Rully Village 2025 is vinified using a traditional method. Fermentation takes place under temperature control, relying on the indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grape skins. This Burgundy wine is then aged in French oak barrels, helping to refine its structure.
