The Clos Sainte-Anne is a historic walled vineyard and a celebrated Monopole belonging exclusively to Maison Jaffelin. Situated on the prestigious clay-limestone slopes of the Beaune appellation, this Premier Cru climat benefits from an ideal microclimate that coaxes optimal ripeness and complexity from the vines. The name of the clos pays homage to Saint Anne, echoing the deep spiritual and agricultural heritage of Burgundy where monastic orders originally mapped and nurtured these exceptional terroirs. Hand-harvested grapes are brought to the historic 12th-century cellars of the Chapter of Notre-Dame in Beaune, where they undergo traditional gravity-flow vinification. The wine is aged in French oak casks, resulting in a classic Beaune Premier Cru that beautifully balances vibrant red fruit aromas, delicate floral notes, and a refined, earthy structure.
