Le Meix Cadot is a Rully Premier Cru designation - one of 23 - in the Côte Chalonnaise subregion of Burgundy. The six-hectare vineyard is mostly planted with the Chardonnay grape variety, although it also contains roughly half a hectare (1.2 acres) of Pinot Noir.
Only the western section of the site has Premier Cru status. The larger, eastern, part is designated as Rully AOP.
The vineyard is located 500 meters south of the town of Rully. It is one of a handful of Premier Crus which run in a strip on the opposite side of a small valley from the main group to the west of town. Consequently, Le Meix Cadot has something of a westerly aspect.
About the vintage: A hot and dry year, which will have known three heatwaves: end of June, July, and end of August. The sanitary conditions were perfect and the quantities produced were moderate due to the lack of water that summer. The white wines are rich and ripe, but fine and well-balanced, the grapes having retained a good level of tartaric acid. A great vintage for the Pinot Noirs which produced intense, ripe, balanced, and very fine wines.
Terroir: Beautiful, cool clay-limestone terroir, located just under the medieval castle of Rully. The vines were planted in the 1960s.
Viticultural Practices: The vines are grown organically. Mechanical labor of the soil. They are pruned in simple guyot with long sticks and disbudded every other eye, so the bunches end up beautiful and airy.
Vinification: Grapes are harvested by hand in crates, sorted on a sorting table if necessary, and conveyed directly to the pneumatic press. Pressing of whole grapes for two and a half hours. The juice from stainless steel vats settles at 12 degrees overnight. Then the must is directly transferred to barrels to achieve alcoholic fermentation (traditional Burgundy vinification).
Ageing: 12 months ageing in oak barrel, 20% in new oak.
Case Bottles: 6
