Aging and bottling 100% in barrels including 15% to 20% new barrels for 12 months. Bottling preceded by a light filtration.

Vine management and vinification Simple Guyot pruning. Manual harvesting, sorting, direct pressing, settling by gravity and alcoholic fermentation in barrels.

Domaine Jacqueson consists now of 18 hectares of vines, mostly in Rully, but also 5 in Mercurey and some in Bouzeron. The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified in classical fashion, before an élevage in barrel (up to 25% new wood). Under Paul, and now by his children, Marie and Pierre, the domaine has become adept at a sophisticated use of barrels, the élevage here is key to the quality they consistently achieve, and this rubs off on the négociant 'Cuvée Sélection' which is always beautifully finished.
