Domaine Jaeger Defaix, Rully 1. Cru Les Cloux Blanc, 2023

Domaine Jaeger-Defaix’s Rully 1er Cru Les Cloux Blanc 2023 is a polished white Burgundy that showcases one of Rully’s most admired premier cru sites. It offers the kind of precision, freshness, and quiet depth that makes Burgundy so compelling, with a style that reflects both terroir and careful winemaking.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, it opens with lifted aromas of citrus blossom, ripe pear, white peach, and subtle hazelnut, along with a gentle touch of minerality. On the palate, it is refined and medium-bodied, balancing lively acidity with a creamy, layered texture and a long, saline finish. The 2023 vintage should drink beautifully in its youth, while also having the structure to develop more complexity over the next several years. As it evolves, expect the wine to gain notes of baked apple, honeyed citrus, and toasted almond, while retaining the freshness that defines the best white wines from Rully.
