DOM JAEGER DEFAIX RULLY 1ER CLOS DU CHAPITRE R22

Domaine JAEGER-DEFAIX is located in Rully and is among the elite of the Côte Chalonnaise. It boasts 6.5 ha of vines including 4.5 ha of Rully located in premier cru areas, for the whites: 1er cru Mont-Palais, 1er cru Les Cloux and 1er cru Rabourcé; and for the reds: 1er cru Préaux and 1er cru Clos du Chapitre as a monopoly (plot entirely enclosed by a wall).

The Clos du Chapitre is a monopoly, located on the appellation Chapitre and entirely closed with a stone wall. This plot of more than 1 hectare is located just behind the family house. As for the Préaux, the yield is controled by a severe pruning, disbuddings (and green harvest if necessary). Here also, with the sorting we only keep the most beautiful clusters.

The fermentation lasts between 2 and 3 weeks with daily pumping-over and punching of the cap. Then the wine is aged in oak barrels (50% are new) during 15 to 18 months. A very light filtration is made before bottling so a light sediment may deposit.
