Côte de Nuits-Villages Hoffmann-Jayer (anciennement Jayer-Gilles) 2014

The wine

Côte de Nuits Villages contains beautiful aromas of red and black berries, roasted notes and coffee. There is beautiful complexity in the mouth (with the same aromas as on the nose), density, great volume and a very refined tannic texture. This wine has good potential for aging, and goes very well with red meat and game in sauce.

About the Producer Hoffmann-Jayer (anciennement Jayer-Gilles)

Domaine Jayer-Gilles, located in Magny les Villers in Hautes-Côtes-de-Nuits, has been managed since 1998 by Gilles Jayer-Gilles, who has been on the domaine since 1985. The vines come from the Gilles family (the current owner's mother) and following the marriage with Mr Jayer (the famous Henry Jayer's cousin), the domaine was named Gilles-Jayer before taking its current name Jayer-Gilles. Gilles represents the third generation of his family at the head of the family farm. The vineyard extends over 11 hectares mainly in the Hautes-Côtes. élevage takes place with a high proportion of new casks, in the manner of Henri Jayer who used 100% new wood. The imprint of the wood is never too marked thanks to an extremely judicious choice of barrels from the best coopers of France. Gilles Jayer is a particularly renowned winemaker in Burgundy, a truly great winemaker. His wines emanate a communal personality with very fruity aromas. The quality of the wines is consistent and offers great aging potential. With its very reasonable prices, it is undoubtedly one of the excellent signatures of the Côte de Nuits.
