Jean Chartron : Rully Village "Montmorin" 2024

Characteristics and tasting notes of the Rully Village "Montmorin" 2024 by Jean Chartron

Tasting

Appearance
The wine reveals a beautiful pale yellow hue, enhanced by subtle green highlights.

Nose
The nose opens with delicate floral notes reminiscent of jasmine and wallflower, harmoniously intertwined with citrus aromas such as clementine and stone fruits like mango. This bouquet gains complexity as it aerates.

Palate
The attack is fresh and ample, offering a beautiful textural generosity. The mid-palate reveals a perfect balance between a thirst-quenching acidity and fruity flavours of white peach. The long, elegant finish stands out with a pronounced minerality featuring saline and iodine accents.

Food and wine pairings

This white wine pairs wonderfully with seafood such as oysters, scallops or lobster, as well as with white fish served with a beurre blanc sauce. It also enhances roasted poultry or dishes prepared with cream and mushrooms, not forgetting fresh or soft cheeses typical of Burgundy.

Serving and cellaring

To fully appreciate this Rully Village "Montmorin" 2024, it is recommended to serve it at a temperature between 11 and 13°C. This wine can be enjoyed in its youth, but will continue to develop its complexity until around 2030.

The mineral and refined expression of the Burgundian terroir of Rully

The estate

Founded in 1859 by Jean-Edouard Dupard, the Domaine Jean Chartron is a historic figure in Puligny-Montrachet, in Burgundy. Today, the fifth generation, embodied by Jean-Michel Chartron in charge of winemaking and Anne-Laure Chartron-Malassagne in charge of viticulture, oversees a 14.5-hectare vineyard. The estate stands out for its profound respect for the environment and its commitment to producing wines that reflect the purity and authenticity of their terroirs.

The vineyard

Located in the Rully appellation, in the Côte Chalonnaise, the "Montmorin" climat lies on particularly well-drained clay-limestone soils. Benefiting from a favourable exposure and a moderate altitude that allows for slow and gradual ripening of the berries, this terroir gives the wine its characteristic tension and minerality. The vines are tended with care and the harvest is carried out manually with rigorous sorting.

Winemaking and aging

The winemaking of the Rully Village "Montmorin" 2024 favours a natural approach. Fermentation takes place in French oak barrels, including a small proportion of new wood in order to preserve the identity of the terroir. The wine then benefits from ageing on fine lees, bringing richness and complexity, before a period of stabilisation in vats to gently perfect the blend.

Grape variety

Chardonnay (100%).
