Always a very good value burgundy. Light, silky and elegant. Wondering whether henri jayer would be similar to this — 7 years ago
Monument of dust when open. Came around quickly, showing the requisite dry spice and earthy elegance expected. Very subtle on palate, not a lot of concentration, still with great harmony between fine tannin and fading acidity. Nicely mature, much more developed on day 2. — 7 years ago
No. 3 of my tasting pack, Benjamin Leroux of Comte Armand has been long praised the most gifted Burgundy winemaker of latest generation, even as the natural heir to the greatest Burgundy winemaker of all-time Henri Jayer. This 2009 Clos Des Epeneaux has off the chart depth. It comes with Pommard's signatory rustic masculinity in a much refiner way with incredibly complex earthy mushroom, black pepper and black current. It's like taking a full bite of damp forest soil - if you will 😂. Great great 🍷 #winetastingnotes #burgundy #comtearmand #benjaminleroux — 9 years ago

Learned from henri jayer. First time volnay. Very light. Raspberry, bitter, rocks, savoury, still abit grippy tannin. Some spice. — 7 years ago
Light but full at the same time, love it! Could drink this nonstop.... — 8 years ago
Shockingly good. Great aromatics. Of 1er CRU quality. These Rouget wines were reputedly made by Henry Jayer, after he took his French pension. His skill shows. — 8 years ago
To me,old school stinky Burg ( Good stink) — 10 years ago
A beautiful nose of soft red fruits, some spice, soulful plummy stuff. Very burgundinian but the plushness of US Pinot. On the palate this has great poise. Light but intense this has lovely fresh fruit and some gnarly wild herbs with underlying acidity and good length. Apparently the ‘j’ refers to Jayer cuttings being the source of the Pinot. If so, that would go some way toward explaining why this is so aromatic and balanced. Excellent — 6 years ago
Is this the best Umathum Zweigelt ever? Smells and tastes the way young Henri Jayer wines used to. Perfectly ripe, weightless, low alcohol (12.5%). Seems like it was cold soaked. Cranberry, umeboshi plum, cherries. Extraordinary! #zweigelt #umathum #burgenland #austria — 7 years ago
Rounded, tropical fruits, long finish, creamy. — 9 years ago
