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
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.

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.

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.
