Its structured tannins suggest a promising potential for aging, evolving beautifully over time to reveal a deeper complexity.

Winemaker’s Background:

Hélène Jaeger-Defaix, continuing a legacy that dates back to the 16th century, took over her family's vineyards in Rully in 2002. With a commitment to maintaining the high standards set by her ancestors, including Henri Niepce, a pivotal figure in establishing Rully's AOC status in the 1930s, she focuses on showcasing the unique characteristics of the region's terroir. Managing a carefully curated estate, Hélène upholds the tradition of producing exceptional red and white wines that reflect the authenticity and heritage of the Côte Chalonnaise.

Serving Suggestions:

This wine is best served at 16°C (61°F) and benefits from being decanted for about an hour prior to enjoyment. It pairs splendidly with sophisticated dishes such as veal ribs with mushrooms, bacon-stuffed potatoes, or Italian stuffed chicken breasts, enhancing the meal with its classic Burgundian charm.

The 2021 Domaine Jaeger-Defaix Rully Premier Cru Clos du Chapitre is more than just a wine; it is a reflection of a family's heritage and a region's winemaking prowess, offered to those who appreciate the nuanced art of fine wine.
