Les Chapitres de Jaffelin is a tribute to the historic Chapter of Notre-Dame, the medieval canons who once owned the 12th-century cellars in Beaune where Jaffelin wines are still aged today. This red Burgundy is crafted to showcase a vibrant, fruit-forward expression of Pinot Noir. Utilizing traditional gravity-flow methods in the cellar, the winemakers minimize agitation to preserve the delicate red berry aromas and soft, approachable tannins. The result is a wine that bridges Burgundy's deep monastic winemaking heritage with a fresh, contemporary style.
