From Its Origins to Today: Maison Jaffelin's Story

Located in the historic center of Beaune, Maison Jaffelin's cellars have a rich history, originally part of the College of Notre Dame. The Jaffelin brothers acquired the property in 1816, preserving its charm until a significant renovation in 2004 modernized the facilities. This upgrade included the integration of advanced winemaking technology, enhancing the quality of their wines.

A Unique Winery in Beaune

Maison Jaffelin stands out as the only winery in the historic center of Beaune, while many others have moved to vineyard locations. The winery sources grapes from various plots across Burgundy, aiming to highlight the unique characteristics of each terroir. Their wine categories include Chapitres, featuring classic Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; Villages, showcasing a range of Burgundy reds and whites; Paradis, which offers Premier Cru selections; and Crémants, including sparkling wines like Blanc de Blancs and a Rosé blend of Pinot Noir, Gamay, and Chardonnay, along with two sulphite-free options introduced in 2021.

Meet the Winemaker

Winemaker Marinette Garnier brings a fresh perspective to Maison Jaffelin. Initially pursuing a career in perfumery, she transitioned to oenology studies in Dijon. Since joining the winery in 2011, Garnier has been instrumental in shaping the modern winemaking practices at Maison Jaffelin, blending tradition with innovation.
