A magical place in the historic center of Beaune

From Origins as the College of Notre Dame to the present-day Winery Property

The cellars occupy a location in the heart of the town of Beaune. They originally belonged to the college of Notre Dame. The Jaffelin brothers, wine traders, bought the property in 1816. Very little changed until 2004 when Maison Jaffelin decided on a complete renovation of the cellar. At the same time, they invested a lot in new state-of-the-art technology that they use nowadays.

A truly unique Winemaker in the Heart of Beaune

Today Maison Jaffelin winery stands out as the only winemaker still operating in the center of the historic town. Other producers have moved their cellars out to the vineyards. The grapes come from the plots all over Burgundy and the work focuses on capturing the characteristics of the various terroirs. An array of vineyard plots throughout Burgundy provides Maison Jaffelin with the opportunity to produce a wider variety of wines than most. Maison Jaffelin winery categorizes its wines into four groups. The first is the Chapitres, typical Pinot Noir and Chardonnay burgundies. The Villages group consists of 2 reds and 4 whites that showcase the diversity of the Burgundy terroirs. The Paradis brings together 9 Premier Cru wines, two whites, and seven reds. The final group is the Crémants —sparkling wines. The Blanc de Blancs is 90% Chardonnay, the sparkling Rosé is a blend of Pinot noir, Gamay and Chardonnay and new from 2021, a Blanc de Blancs and Blanc de Noirs both without added sulphites.
