Domaine Jacques Dury was founded in 1955 by Henri Dury as a mixed farm, and turned to wine under his son Jacques. It is run today by the third and fourth generations, Hervé and Rémi Dury — Rémi named Côte Chalonnaise Young Winemaker of the Year in 2023.

The estate works sixteen hectares, fifteen of them in Rully, in the southern half of the appellation where the slopes face east and the soil is rich in limestone and marl. Farming is lutte raisonnée.

Whites ferment naturally in four-year-old barrels — old enough that the wood gives texture without flavour. Reds are fully destemmed, cold-soaked, gently extracted and aged twelve months in vat rather than barrel, which keeps the fruit unvarnished.

Rully is the northernmost commune of the Côte Chalonnaise, and the closest in soil and temperament to the Côte de Beaune it sits below. It is where Burgundy still offers proper limestone Chardonnay at a sane price.

Lemon and white flowers over green almond; crisp and precise on the palate, with a chalky texture and a clean saline close. Drink young and cold, or give it two or three years to build.
