Domaine Jayer-Gilles is run by the very talented Gilles Jayer who took over for his father Robert Jayer in 1998. The estate is collected around the world and very scarce. The total allocation for the United States of this wine is around 350 cases. Gilles take the same care for his Aligoté as he does for his more famous appellations. Most growers’ yields for Aligoté are around 3 tons per acre while Gilles prunes so severely that he never harvests more than 2.2 tons per acre. The astounding quality of this wine is proof of the commitment to quality of the entire estate.
This wine expresses the full potential of the grape with well defined mineral and spicy orchard fruit and touches of creamy oak. The wine is bright and fresh and can be enjoyed with all foods the pair well with Chardonnay.
