The story
Jaffelin's cellars are located in the ancient "Caves du Chapitre" connected to the Collégiale Notre-Dame in Beaune: the cellars date back to the 12th century, and in 1816 the Jaffelin brothers began their négociant business on these premises. Over time the Maison has remained focused on blending and in-house winemaking, preserving and restoring the historic character of its cellars.
Production philosophy
The estate combines artisanal methods with a modern approach to winemaking: it produces handcrafted cuvées, uses traditional equipment, and oversees cellar aging to express the character of the different Burgundian terroirs.
Terroir and vineyards
Operating in the heart of Burgundy and based in Beaune, Maison Jaffelin sources grapes from several subzones and villages of the region and offers wines ranging from Burgundy and village appellations such as Chambolle-Musigny, Meursault and Gevrey-Chambertin to crémant and terroir cuvées.
