The Jaeger Defaix estate offers a perfectly mastered range of Rully wines.
The white Premiers Crus are precise, elegant, and endowed with beautiful minerality. Among the flagship cuvées are Mont-Palais, with a taut and floral style; Les Cloux, broader and more complex with notes of roasted almond and citrus; as well as Rabourcé, rounder and more charming, highly appreciated by enthusiasts.
On the red wine side, the estate notably offers the Clos du Chapitre cuvée, a monopole surrounded by walls, carefully aged and recognized for its finesse, structure, and aging potential. Préaux completes this range with a fruity and silky profile, true to the delicate style of Burgundy Pinot Noir. Finally, the Rully village red stands out for its indulgentise, its freshness, and its supple tannins, accessible from its youth.
The entire Jaeger-Defaix range stands out for a very pure, precise, and balanced style, offering excellent value for money in an appellation that is still confidential but full of promise.
The Jaeger-Defaix estate benefits from a remarkable terroir in the heart of the Rully appellation, in the Côte Chalonnaise. Here, the clay-limestone soils, typical of the region, offer a perfect balance between richness and finesse. Well-drained and well-exposed, they allow the grapes to ripen slowly while preserving their freshness. This temperate climate, combined with cooler nights, promotes expressive, precise, and balanced wines.
The estate's plots, several of which are classified as Premier Cru, give rise to elegant Chardonnays, with notes of white flowers, citrus, and wet stone, as well as fine and delicate Pinot Noirs, marked by aromas of small red fruits and a beautiful silky texture. Hélène Jaeger-Defaix's organic approach and meticulous work in both the vineyard and the cellar highlight all the richness of the Rully terroirs.
These authentic and sincere cuvées perfectly illustrate the still too little-known potential of this Burgundy appellation. On La Cave Éclairée, you can easily find and order the wines from Domaine Jaeger-Defaix, and thus discover an accessible, refined, and characterful Burgundy.
