"This well-constructed, bright gold 2017 offers a bouquet of yellow and white flowers underscored by lemon. Round and rich, yet with plenty of freshness, the palate evokes acacia, hawthorn and rosehip, with a lovely finish of toasted almond." (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2020) Sublime!

Rully
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domain rated 1*Star (A serious, commendable production, in keeping with what one has the right to expect from its appellation(s))
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.

About the wine:
This well-crafted, bright gold 2017 offers a bouquet of yellow and white flowers underscored by lemon. Round and rich, with plenty of freshness, the palate is reminiscent of acacia, hawthorn and rosehip, with a lovely finish of toasted almond.
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).

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.

Wine rated (2018 guide) 89-91/100
About the wine:
A lightly woody spectrum is made up of notes of white flowers, citrus and petroleum. Here again, the flavors are pleasant and well-proportioned, with plenty of richness on the seductive finish that shows more energy and a touch of salinity.
