DOMAINE HENRI JAYER
Henri Jayer was born in 1922 third son of Eugène Jayer. He married Marcelle Rouget, the daughter of a wine-maker and became deeply involved in viticulture and wine-making. He attended the University of Dijon in the 1940's and earned a degree in oenology and gained expertise and knowledge from René Engel. Jayer was regarded as one of the most influential winemakers in Burgundy. His wines produced from his small 6.30 hectare Domaine, based in and around Vosne-Romaneé are arguably some of the finest wines ever produced in Burgundy, including the legendary Cros Parantoux. Jayer was a pioneer and firmly believed that care in the vineyard was fundamental to producing fine Burgundy and was an innovator in vinification. Unfortunately Henri Jayer, died in September 2006, however his work continues to inspire many young Burgundy growers.
