"Aged eighteen months in oak, this 1er cru has all the makings of a great wine. Illuminated by golden rays, it develops a complex aromatic intensity reminiscent of fresh fruit, small white flowers and rice powder. Elegant and racy, the palate is both fat and fresh, rich and balanced. A feat in this sunny vintage". (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2018)

Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Rated (2018 guide) 14.5/20 (Good wine)
Domain rated 1*Star (A serious, commendable production, in keeping with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
About the wine:
Supple, round, charming and spherical.
About the domain :
Domaine Jaeger-Defaix covers 6 hectares in Rully, including 4.5 in premier cru, certified organic since 2012. Hélène Jaeger-Defaix, agricultural engineer and oenologist, wife of Didier Defaix (domaine Bernard Defaix de Chablis), is at the helm. Viticulture with ploughed soils and vinification that respects the harvest as much as possible, with the aim of letting the plots express themselves, are beginning to pay off. The 2017 vintage is in top form, with classic, fine wines.

Wine rated (guide 2017) 17/ 20
About the wine:
Lemony and spicy notes combine on the nose. The palate is full of greediness, again with a sunny side but without heaviness.

About the wine:
Aged eighteen months in oak, this 1ercru has all the makings of a great wine.

About the domain :
Wife of Chablis winemaker Bernard Defaix, Hélène Jaeger took over her great-aunt Henriette Niepce's estate in 2005. She immediately converted to organic farming (certification in 2009).
RVF - La Revue du Vin de France / Guide des Meilleurs Vins de France
Domain Noted Selected (We remind you that this guide is a prize list, and as such, all the domains that appear in it, even without a star, represent, in our eyes, the excellence of French production).
About the domain :
In 2002, Hélène Jaeger first took over a parcel of Rully Premier Cru from her great-aunt Henriette Niépce - a descendant of the famous inventor - and then the entire estate in 2005. Wife of Bernard Defaix, winemaker in Chablis, she applies the principles of great wines, with tilled soils and manual harvesting. The cuvées are vinified at the fully-equipped Chablis winery; the white wines are aged in barrels.
Burghound
Wine rated (2017 guide) 89/100
About the wine:
Sufficient woodiness provides the backdrop for the slightly exotic nose, which returns scents of petroleum and spicy, ripe pear. Medium-bodied flavors give a more delicate, detailed mouthfeel, and there's a blatant minerality on the balanced, persistent finish, from which a hint of bitter lemon emerges.
