Detailed Description
An exquisite Richbourg, with a story to tell. Formerly part of the eye-watering collection belonging to the Klosse family, a well-known Dutch family who have remained at the heart of European gastronomy for over half a century. The family were amongst the rare privileged few allowed to purchase direct from Henri Jayer, and the wines have been safely treasured in the family`s private cellar since. Widely recognised as one of the world`s most prized winemakers, here is the 1987 vintage from Henry Jayer.
Producer Information
Henri Jayer was a producer of red Burgundy known for making some of the most critically acclaimed and expensive Pinot Noir in the world. Jayer retired in from winemaking in 2001 and passed away in 2006, and the domaine was left to his nephew, Emmanuel Rouget, and all vintages since 2001 have been released under his name.Their limited production and the ever-diminishing number in existence have made Henri Jayer’s wines some of the most collectible and highly priced in the world. While critically acclaimed, the reputation of Jayer’s wines were further added-to by featuring in the likes of the Drops of God, a Japanese Manga series of books about wine.The label itself was founded by Jayer when he inherited 3 hectares (7 acres) of land in the Côte d’Or, including parcels in the grand cru vineyard Echézeaux. He began bottling wine under his own name in the early 1950s, including wines made from fruit from vineyards he tended, owned by the Noirot-Camuzet family.
