Robert Parker’s tasting notes on the Rully Premier Cru Gresigny 2012: “The 2012 Rully Premier Cru Grésigny has a crisp green apple and freshly sliced pear-scented nose that is vivacious and charming. The palate is well balanced with impressive weight and concentration, with hints of tropical fruit and minerals towards the satisfying finish. This is a far superior showing compared to last year's example.”

Domaine Michel Briday is managed by Stéphane Briday. Stéphane Briday joined the family estate in 1988 and has been assisted by his wife Sandrine Briday since 2000.

The domaine was founded in 1976 by Stéphane Briday’s parents - Michel Briday and Lucette Briday. The first vintages of the domaine were made at 6.5 hectares of rented vineyards. Their first vintage in 1977 of Rully La Pucelle was awarded a gold medal at the Concours Général Agricole in Paris.

As time passed, the domaine’s vineyards were expanded noticeably by consistent purchasing of new plots.

Domaine Michel Briday is farmed according to the sustainable approach, certified by Terra Vitis in 2014.

Weed killers are not used since 1996. The vines are treated only in cases of strictest necessity. The harvesting is done manually.

The vinification is done with minimum interventions and with the help of indigenous yeasts only.

The whites are aged in 300- and 400-litre oak barrels. The maximum percentage of new oak is 15. The bottling is done before the next harvest.

The reds are completely destemmed, except for Rully Les Pierre, for which a few whole bunches may be kept. The ageing is done in oak barrels with maximum 25 percent of new wood. After 12 months of maturation, the wines are racked and then bottled after a second winter in a tank.
