INFO: Hélène Jaeger-Defaix manages this estate in the same same spirit as their vineyards and estate in Chablis. Farming organically, the vines have an average age of at least 35 years. Maceration and fermentation with natural yeast takes at least 2 to 3 weeks. Post fermentation the wine is aged for a further 18 months in oak barrels of 1 to 5 years old with moderate “batonnage” to enhance the elegance of the wine.
Beautiful bright ruby-red colour. Aromas of raspberry, red currant and blackberry. Pretty and refined on the nose. On the palate there is an abundance of red fruit and a touch of spice. The tannin structure is silky creating an elegant Pinot Noir that is supple and fresh.
