wine for enthusiasts

"A Pinot Noir with a distinct Burgundian style, this 1er Cru will delight you right away, or it can be cellared for a few years to reach its full potential."

Best known for its whites, Rully has some excellent surprises in store when it comes to reds. Here we are in the Chapitre appellation (just below Les Cloux) on a beautiful plot, entirely surrounded by a high wall. A vineyard that’s very typical of the region, producing a Pinot Noir that’s also very Burgundian—refined and distinguished. A 2024 vintage bursting with fruit and defined by elegance!

Winery rated 1*Star (A high-quality, recommendable production that lives up to what one would expect from its appellation(s))

About the estate:

The Jaeger-Defaix estate spans 6 hectares in Rully, including 4.5 hectares of Premier Cru vineyards, and has been certified organic since 2012. Hélène Jaeger-Defaix, an agricultural engineer and oenologist and the wife of Didier Defaix (of the Bernard Defaix estate in Chablis), is at the helm. A viticultural approach that involves plowing the soil and winemaking practices that respect the harvest as much as possible—with the goal of allowing the individual plots to express their full potential—is beginning to pay off. The 2017 vintage was at its best, producing wines of a classic and refined style.

Selected Wineries (Please note that this guide is a ranking, and as such, all the wineries listed here—even those without a star—represent, in our view, the very best of French winemaking.)

About the estate:

In 2002, Hélène Jaeger first took over a plot of Rully Premier Cru that had belonged to her great-aunt Henriette Niépce—a descendant of the famous inventor—and then the entire estate in 2005. Married to Bernard Defaix, a winemaker in Chablis, she applies the principles characteristic of great wines, with carefully tended soils and hand-harvested grapes. The wines are vinified at the Chablis winery, which is fully equipped; the white wines are aged in barrels.
