This outrageously delicious & silky smooth new release is a bottling of the winery’s ‘best of the best’ {as described by the world-famous wine team} selections that showcases an array of bright fruit flavors and complexity including cherry cola, pomegranate, cranberry, subtle spice and notes of herbal tea. Burgundian in profile with red plum and savory truffles, with polished tannins, this will age effortlessly over the next 7 – 10 years. Gorgeous stuff here. – August 2022

Nicolas-Jay Winery

As the owner and winemaker of the Côte d’Or’s famed Domaine Méo-Camuzet,
JeanNicolas Méo’s path to Oregon’s Willamette Valley first went through the great
grands crus of Burgundy, where he spent nearly 30 years making wines from legendary
vineyards like Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Corton Clos Rognet and Échezeaux.

In 2012, inspired by a three-decade interest in the quality and potential of Oregon’s
Pinot Noirs, Jean-Nicolas partnered with his longtime friend, Jay Boberg, to found
Nicolas-Jay in the Willamette Valley. At Nicolas-Jay, Jean-Nicolas applies insights
gained from his experience making Pinot Noirs from some of the world’s greatest
winegrowing sites to craft exciting and elegant Pinot Noirs that authentically show the
terroir of the Willamette Valley, and some of its very finest vineyards.

Though Jean-Nicolas has deep roots in Burgundy, he has long nurtured an appreciation
for Pinot Noirs from other parts of the world—most notably for the wines of Oregon,
which he first discovered while attending the International Pinot Noir Celebration in
Willamette Valley in 1991. There, Jean-Nicolas met many of the region’s early pioneers,
and had an opportunity to explore the remarkable potential of its wines. “I loved the
valley’s Burgundy-like charm and mentality, with its dedicated farmers, and small,
family-run wineries committed to making wines of great character,” says Jean-Nicolas.
