2022 Jaeger-Defaix Rully 1er Cru Clos du Chapitre, Burgundy

This is aromatically similar to the Préaux but with a slightly spicier quality and in particular, black pepper. Once again I like the mid-palate texture to the succulent but punchy flavors that conclude in a firm, mildly rustic and better balanced finale that is structured enough to repay 5 to 8 years of keeping.

89-91 points Allen Meadows burghound.com

A very cherry nose very nice – and that’s before the lovely floral perfume rises form the glass. Freshness but here is density of flavour too – a little caramel in the finishing flavour – but then fading to finish more focused on the fruit again. That’s a very delicious wine – I’d wait 2-3 years for things to open out and the oaky caramel to fade – a similar patience as for the oak on the white – but these are both lovely!
