Rully 1er Cru Cloux Jaeger-Defaix, 2022

Rully 1er Cru Cloux Jaeger-Defaix 2022 is a finely detailed white Burgundy that captures the elegance and precision of the Côte Chalonnaise. From a respected Premier Cru site, it offers a refined balance of freshness, minerality, and quiet depth, making it a compelling choice for lovers of authentic Burgundy.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in the glass, the wine is likely to show a bright, luminous appearance typical of high-quality white Burgundy. The nose should open with notes of citrus, white flowers, orchard fruit, and a subtle mineral edge, with a touch of creaminess or toasted nuance depending on élevage. On the palate, expect a precise and layered profile: crisp lemon and green apple at the core, lifted by stone fruit and a fine chalky tension. The finish should be clean, saline, and persistent, with enough structure to suggest good short- to mid-term aging, during which it will likely gain more texture and complexity.

Production
Produced in the Premier Cru Cloux climat of Rully in Burgundy’s Côte Chalonnaise, the wine benefits from limestone-rich soils that bring freshness, purity, and mineral definition. Harvesting is typically done with care to preserve fruit integrity, and vinification is usually aimed at maintaining the vineyard’s natural precision, often with controlled fermentation and aging to enhance texture without overshadowing the site’s character.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs beautifully with shellfish, grilled white fish, roast chicken, creamy poultry dishes, and delicate hard cheeses. Serve chilled at around 10–12°C, and consider brief decanting only if the wine seems tightly wound on opening—otherwise, it is best enjoyed straight from the bottle to preserve its freshness.

Producer
Jaeger-Defaix is a respected Burgundy producer known for crafting terroir-driven wines with clarity and restraint. With a strong reputation in Rully and the broader Côte Chalonnaise, the domaine is appreciated for its thoughtful approach to vineyard expression and its ability to produce wines that combine accessibility with real regional character.
