AN EXCELLENT COLLECTION OF RARE HENRI JAYER WINES from 1980-1992
The following collection (198-216) was set up over a period of 15 years, during this period the owner paid bi-annual visits to the Burgundy region developing personal relationships with a number of high quality producers like Henri Jayer and Anne Claude Leflaive.
Up on our first visit to the cellar the passion for fine Burgundy of the owner was instantly clear.
A number of profound memories of encounters with Henri and great bottles which they enjoyed together where shared during the meetings we had organizing this sale.
After release all wines were personally transported to the natural cool underground wine cellar of the owner in Northern Europe until they were checked by Christie's specialist staff earlier this year and moved to our warehouse.
The magnums of Henri Jayer in this collection were mostly with damaged labels and missing their vintage label. Therefore we have cut the capsules to check the branding on the corks. All were fully branded. A further indication of the high level of provenance.
This is a very fine collection of Henri Jayer wines of a unique diversity and quality.
Henri Jayer, Richebourg 1987
Grand Cru, Côte de Nuits
Bin-soiled, slightly damaged label. Level at 2.5cms below base of cork
