Henri Jayer, one of Burgundy’s most revered winemakers, was a pioneer whose influence endures long after his final vintages. Born in Vosne-Romanée in 1922, he transformed viticulture with his dedication to low yields, minimal intervention, and meticulous vineyard management.
The 2001 Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux is a testament to his mastery. Sourced from a tiny Premier Cru vineyard Jayer famously reclaimed from neglect, this wine embodies both precision and power. Layers of dark cherry, wild berries, and earthy spice unfold with remarkable depth, while silken tannins and vibrant acidity promise extraordinary ageing potential.

The 1999 Vosne-Romané 1er Cru Duvault-Blochet, the debut release in the modern era, was beginning to show some signs of bricking on the rim. The bouquet is a treat. decayed red berry fruit, sage and peppermint, just a soupçon of wild fennel all at the liminal point as primary tips into secondary aromas. The palate is soft and mellow on the entry with a subtle meaty/dried blood quality, fine tannin and well judged acidity that keeps this linear and focused. There is just a pinch of spice on the finish that strangely brought to mind more Chambolle than Vosne-Romanée, not that I am complaining. Tasted at the 1999 DRC dinner. - Neil Martin
