we went to Rully, for a tour of Château de Rully by the owner himself, Count Raoul de Ternay, and a seated tasting of Domaine Rully wines in the medieval kitchen of the castle.
Guided Tour of the Château de Rully and Tasting at the Domaine Rully
Château de Rully
Visible from far away among the vineyards, the Château de Rully is a medieval fortress built in the 12th century. Visiting the castle took us on a journey through French history from the middle ages to today. Since its origin, the castle has been kept in the same family. The current owner Count Raoul de Ternay guided us through his home, showing the history of his ancestors. By being a private property (and not a museum) every single visit is a unique and authentic experience. The tour ended with a tasting of the Château’s wines in the medieval kitchen.
Since 1986, Maison Antonin Rodet has leased the vineyards of Château de Rully and makes and sells the Domaine du Château de Rully wines.
Rully
Rully wine is produced in the communes of Rully and Chagny in the Côte Chalonnaise. Around two-thirds of the AOC Rully (357 hectares) consists of white wine, and around one-third is red. There are 23 climats within the Rully AOC classified as Premier Cru vineyards (96 hectares).
Maison Antonin Rodet
Maison Antonin Rodet is a négociant house with substantial holdings (160 ha) in both the Côte d’Or and Côte Chalonnaise.
Maison Antonin Rodet has been based in Mercurey since 1875, the year of the founding of the House, by Antoine Rodet, known as Antonin. His father, Francois was a grocer in Chalon-sur-Saone and a clever businessman and quickly added the trade of wine-broker to his various activities. Chalon-sur-Saone at this time was an important hub in the wine trade.
In 2009, Boisset bought rival négociant Antonin Rodet from Sequana Capital, an investment holding company. The acquisition cemented Boisset’s position as Burgundy’s biggest wine producer, and the fifth largest fine wine company in France. The company already owns names including Bouchard Aîné et Fils, Domaine de la Vougeraie, Jaffelin and Ropiteau.
