Critic Scores:

• 95 – Antonio Galloni, Vinous

Crafted during the twilight years of legendary winemaker Henri Jayer's career using fruit from his brother Georges' highly prized Grand Cru parcels, this rare, blue-chip bottling represents an extraordinary piece of Burgundy history. The 2000 growing season was marked by erratic summer weather that ultimately yielded a soft, forward vintage, demanding Jayer’s legendary precision to maximize complexity and structural elegance.

Displaying a mature, beautifully translucent garnet core with bricking at the rim, the wine reveals an intensely evocative aromatic landscape of dried red fruits, damp forest floor, sweet spice, and sophisticated underbrush.

On the palate, the texture is remarkably supple and expansive, showcasing the effortless harmony and seamless balance that defined Jayer’s signature style.

Renowned critic Antonio Galloni spotlights its immense, lasting stature in his 95-point review, declaring it an exquisite, multi-dimensional masterpiece that "floats on the palate with layers of dimension".

The finish is strikingly persistent, supported by finely resolved, silky tannins and a remaining thread of vibrant acidity that gracefully extends the wine's rich, earthy depth.
