The View of Rully and the Clos Du Chapitre from the Les Cloux vineyard
|
|
|
|
"For those new to this fine grower, Jaeger-Defaix is the family Domaine of Hélène Defaix, wife of Didier Defaix (of Chablis producer Domaine Bernard Defaix). Most of the Jaeger-Defaix vineyards are premier cru and brilliantly situated. All the vineyards are managed organically. Given the family connection, it won’t surprise you to hear that the 4.5 hectare Domaine is run in the same earth-to-glass spirit as Didier’s family Estate in Chablis."

2022 Rully 1er Cru 'Les Cloux'
Usually $95 - Special Offer$89
"Here the wood treatment is more subtle on the very pretty and more floral-suffused nose of citrus, anise and white orchard fruit scents. There is a finer texture to the punchier medium weight flavors that culminate in a bone-dry, balanced and even more persistent finale. The underlying tension is palpable and overall, this chiseled effort is very good and a wine that should amply repay mid-term keeping."

2022 Rully 1er Cru 'Rabource' Blanc
Usually $95 - SpecialOffer $89
"A subtle but not imperceptible application of wood sets off the cool and airy blend of white orchard fruit, citrus confit and a hint of crushed anise. There is again fine concentration to the delicious and vibrant medium-bodied flavors that also flash good underlying tension that carries over to the nicely dry and equally persistent finish."

2022 RullyRouge
Usually $75 - Special Offer $69
"Ripe and distinctly earthy aromas include those of various red berries and plum. There is both good richness and vibrancy to the middleweight flavors that conclude in a dusty and slightly grippy but not hard finish."

2022 Rully 1er Cru 'Clos du Chapitre' Rouge
Usually $105 - SpecialOffer $99
"This is aromatically similar to the Préaux but with a slightly spicier quality and in particular, black pepper. Once again I like the mid-palate texture to the succu-lent but punchy flavors that conclude in a firm, mildly rustic and better balanced finale that is structured enough to repay 5 to 8 years of keeping."

2022 Chablis 1er Cru 'Cote de Lechet'
Usually $95 - Special Offer $89
"Moderate wood is present on the vaguely exotic nose of white and yellow peach, iodine and algae nuances. There is impressive density and intensity to the utterly delicious and beautifully textured medium-bodied flavors that also exude a subtle minerality on the tangy, succulent and bone-dry finale that is like sucking on an oyster shell."

2022 Chablis 1er Cru 'Montee de Tonnerre'
Usually $109 - Special Offer $99
"Here too there is enough wood influence suffusing the aromas of mineral reduction, pretty floral wisps, spice and iodine to merit mentioning. I very much like the sophisticated texture of the acceptably concentrated middleweight flavors that deliver excellent depth and length on the firm, youthfully austere and sneaky long finale. Unlike the Fourchaume which could be reasonably approached young, this more compact effort will need at least a few years of keeping first."
