Domaine Jaeger Defaix - Rully Rouge

Jaeger-Defaix’s village Rully (100% Pinot Noir) comes from a small parcel of Rully village vines purchased in 2011. Favourably sited in the Vorot lieu-dit, the 30-year-old vines have been farmed organically for decades. This parcel yields small bunches of grapes with thick skins and powerful juice. This year's fruit was entirely destemmed, and the wine aged in seasoned oak barrels (from one to three years old) for 12 months. This is a juicy, highly enjoyable, elegant and rewarding Burgundy with red berry and violet-scented flesh and the suave, powdery mouthfeel of top-notch Pinot Noir.
