✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted in the historic 12th-century cellars of the Chapter of Notre-Dame in Beaune, Jaffelin's Pinot Noir is a testament to traditional gravity-flow winemaking. This gentle approach minimizes agitation, preserving the delicate, bright red fruit profile characteristic of the varietal. The wine showcases a classic Burgundian elegance, drawing from limestone-rich soils to deliver vibrant notes of fresh cherries, wild strawberries, and a touch of earthy spice. It represents a harmonious balance of historical craftsmanship and accessible, terroir-driven character.
🍾 About the Producer
Founded in 1816 by brothers Charles and Henri Jaffelin, Maison Jaffelin is celebrated as the smallest among Burgundy's historic négociant houses, located in the ancient center of Beaune. The estate ages its wines in remarkable 12th-century vaulted cellars originally built by the Canons of the Collégiale Notre-Dame. Operating on an artisanal, small-batch scale, the house employs gentle, gravity-fed vinification to preserve the pure expression and distinctive character of each climats across the Côte de Nuits and Côte de Beaune. Jaffelin is renowned for its elegant, terroir-driven Pinot Noir and Chardonnay selections, ranging from the emblematic Cuvée des Chanoines to distinguished Premier and Grand Cru bottlings, alongside fine Crémant de Bourgogne.
