Situated just behind the family estate, the Clos du Chapitre parcel is a monopoly of more than a hectare cultivated at low yields. The Pinot Noir grape expresses itself with elegant notes of red fruit. The very Burgundian style of this cuvée promises good ageing potential.

Expert opinion

Bettane & Desseauve

Bettane & Desseauve

Scored (2016 guide) 14/20 (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:

Very precise, it is very young with the smoky notes of ageing. Wait and taste later in the year.

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:

The flavors, delicious, rich and deeper, still linger behind, wrapped in a finish that lingers pleasantly. It deserves a few years to flesh out and harmonize.

It's been a while since I've enjoyed a fruity, aromatic and persistent pinot noir of this nature.
