Henri Jayer, Vosne Romanee 1995

Tasted at Cote D’Or just a few month before the tragic death of Bernard Loiseau. The 1995 Vosne Romanee village came after Meo-Camuzet 1993 Clos de Vougeot, and was amazing. The sheer intensity of the wine overpowered the bigger terroir of the Meo wine. The Jayer village wine was lush, silky and very ripe with a fantastic drinkablity – should have been a double magnum! A truely fine wine.

(now – 2020) 91p – tasted in October 2002
