Domaine Jaeger-Defaix - Rully 1er Cru blanc Les Cloux 2020

ORGANIC

Key words:Mineral / Elegant / Buttery

Wine: This Rully 1er Cru "Les Cloux" from the Jaeger-Defaix estate offers complexity and elegance, all with excellent value for money for Burgundy! The vines evolve here on clay-limestone soils and the aging of the wine takes place for 18 months in oak barrels. This resting period allows this cuvée to develop a substance generous surrounded by a solid and salivating mineral tension. On the palate, notes of lemon and lime , apple, quince and peach combine with a very well measured buttery and woody aspect. Evolving with finesse, this beautiful Chardonnay from the Côte Chalonnaise will pair wonderfully with white fish and goat cheese.

The estate: Endowed with 6 hectares on the AOC Rully in Côte Chalonnaise including 4.5 in Premiers Crus (Mont-Palais, Rabourcé and Les Cloux in white as well as Préaux and Clos du Chapitre in red), the domaine Jaeger-Defaix Since 2011, has also had a 1.5 hectare plot in the Rully red village appellation. The 1er Cru Clos du Chapitre is a monopoly located within the Rully 1er Cru "Chaptre" appellation and is entirely surrounded by stone walls. Hélène Jaeger-Defaix's winemaking story began in 2002 when she took over a first plot belonging to her great-aunt Henriette Niepce. Hélène will then take control of all the plots of her family, winemakers since the 16th century. The farm has been grown organically since the 2009 vintage and the maintenance of the soil is done solely by plowing. Finally, Didier, Hélène's husband, is also a winegrower in Chablis and at the head of the Bernard Defaix estate.
