The grapes are harvested by hand and then directly pressed in a pneumatic press. Alcoholic fermentation takes place entirely in French oak barrels, of which 40% are new. The lees are stirred (bâtonnage) occasionally during ageing, which lasts 13 months.
Jaffelin, the smallest of the great Burgundy wine houses, entered a new chapter in its history in 2004, when it completely renovated its vat room and fitted it out with high precision equipment. Marinette Garnier, oenologist-winemaker, creates these "hand-made" wines in this magical location in the historical centre of Beaune. Since then, Jaffelin continues to present the very best of the finest Burgundy terroirs within a comprehensive collection of wines, which are recognised in prestigious wine competitions and appreciated by connoisseurs around the world.
Puligny-Montrachet is a world famous terroir where the Chardonnay reveals its full complexity. The grapes come from parcels, facing directly east, located near the village.
Beautiful golden hue. Powerful on the nose with aromas of white flowers, underpinned by a touch of oak. Well-balanced on the palate with toasted notes adding structure and lovely length.
