✨ Technical Specifications
Crafted in the historic, atmospheric 12th-century cellars of the Chapter of Notre-Dame in Beaune, Maison Jaffelin's sparkling Rosé Brut is a vibrant testament to Burgundy's traditional-method sparkling heritage. This cuvée is produced with the same meticulous care as the region's still wines, utilizing hand-harvested grapes that undergo secondary fermentation in the bottle. The cool, subterranean limestone cellars provide the perfect ambient temperature for a slow aging process, allowing the wine to develop its signature fine bubbles, delicate salmon-pink hue, and expressive aromas of wild strawberries, red currants, and subtle toasted brioche.
🍾 About the Producer
Established in 1816 by brothers Charles and Henri Jaffelin, Maison Jaffelin holds the distinction of being the smallest of the historical négociant houses in Beaune. Uniquely, it remains one of the rare houses actively vinifying inside the medieval core of Beaune, operating out of vaulted twelfth-century cellars originally belonging to the Collégiale Notre-Dame. Now part of the Boisset Collection family of estates, Jaffelin's winemaking has been guided since 2011 by oenologist Marinette Garnier. Garnier crafts micro-cuvées using bespoke, small-capacity wooden vats and traditional vertical pressing, prioritizing gentle extraction and native fermentations. Sourcing pristine fruit across the Côte de Nuits, Côte de Beaune, and Côte Chalonnaise, the house emphasizes transparent terroir character across classical limestone and clay-limestone soils. Benchmark releases include regional expressions under the Les Chapitres de Jaffelin tier, singular Premier Cru bottlings such as Beaune Premier Cru Les Cent Vignes, and traditional-method Crémants de Bourgogne vinified with minimal intervention and low dosage.
