Domaine Jayer-Gilles 2006 Chardonnay (Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune)

  1. $52
Textured wine, the crisp white fruits are tight against acidity and spice. It fills the mouth, broadening into a wine that becomes creamy, with wood and green plum skins giving structure. This is another example of how a lesser appellation can shine at the hands of a master vigneron.  — R.V.  (5/1/2009)

Domaine Jayer-Gilles 2006 Pinot Noir (Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune)

  1. $52
There is great purity of fruit here. The wine that shows the freshest of strawberries, and is given a jelly flavor by their sweetness. The tannins are a core of dryness and blend satisfyingly with the acidity and fruits. For such a humble appellation, this is an impressive wine.  — R.V.  (12/31/2008)

Pierre André 2009 Les Forges Pinot Noir (Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune)

Benefiting from the ripe 2009 vintage, the wine shows more ripe fruit than is usual from the Hautes-Côtes. It has rich strawberry flavor along with acidity. The soft tannins add a light sense of structure.  — R.V.  (12/31/2011)

Crisp and cool, this shows a vanilla flavor that softens the attractive tight, acidic fruit. It’s light in texture, with a prominent tang of citrus.  — R.V.  (11/1/2012)

Domaine Jayer-Gilles 2007 Pinot Noir (Bourgogne Hautes Côtes de Beaune)

  1. $47
On the austere side, with fruit that has considerable—perhaps too much—freshness. Berry flavors and tannins verge on stalky, and the acidity gives the wine a light aftertaste.  — R.V.  (7/1/2010)

Pleasant, soft wine, easy to drink, its fruits round and somewhat dilute. It doesn’t resonate, but is certainly fresh and crisp.  — R.V.  (7/1/2010)
