"The fruit seems both ripe and fresh. There's lovely tension and precision. The flavors are catchy and structured on the palate. A touch of lemon appears on the finish, giving the wine a straightforward character and a pleasantly dry finish." (Burghound.com - April 2014)

Domaine Jaeger-Defaix
Rully
Expert opinion
Bettane & Desseauve
Domaine rated 1*Star (A serious, recommendable production, in line 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.
Guide Hachette des vins
Wine rated (2016 guide) 1*Star (Very successful wine)
Domaine noté (guide 2022) Award-winning wines (The wines of this producer are regularly awarded by the guide)
About the wine:
With its hawthorn, lemon and vine peach aromas, this Rully has an intense nose and an equally aromatic, fresh and long-lasting palate.
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
Domaine noté Sélectionné (We remind you that this guide is a prize list, and as such, all the estates 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.
