About This Wine:
The 27-acre estate is located in the tiny village of Magny-les-Villers, where Gilles Jayer makes a very scarce amount of exceptional wine, appreciated by collectors around the world. The astounding quality of this wine is proof of the commitment to quality of the entire estate.
The purple-colored Jayer-Gilles Hautes Cotes de Nuits offers a nose full of fruits like cassis, plums and cherries. medium-bodied and firmly structured, it displays flavors of blackberries, spices and hints of tobacco.
Ratings & Reviews
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
The 2008 Bourgogne-Hautes Cotes de Nuits is a tight, focused wine laced with dark red fruit. The 2008 is a touch on the lean side, but the wine’s freshness and length will shine at the dinner table. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2020.
This is a strong set of wines from Gilles Jayer. In 2009 the harvest took place from the 16th to the 24th of September. After vinification Jayer leaves the wines in oak with no racking until they are assembled prior to bottling. Jayer uses 100% new oak for all his wines. With the occasional exception of some of the entry-level offerings, the wines handle their new oak admirably well. I also had a chance to taste the 2008s. Aside from the Hautes Cotes de Beaune – which was too reduced to evaluate – the 2008s showed very well.
