Hoffmann Jayer (previously Jayer Gilles)
Indulge in exquisite wines brought to you by the renowned Jayer Gilles, producing some of the finest Burgundy wines in France. Founded in 1966, this family-owned domain has captured the attention of wine connoisseurs around the globe for its exceptional quality and attention to detail. From vineyard to bottle, Jayer Gilles crafts elegant, balanced wines that capture the essence of Burgundy terroir.
Domaine Hoffmann-Jayer, previously known as Domaine Gilles Jayer, does have a link to the revered Jayer family. Founded in the 1950s by Robert Jayer and his wife Paulette, who originated from Vosne Romanée, this estate has been a purely familial affair. It passed to their only son, Gilles Jayer, in 1991, and boasts an impressive range of Grand Cru and 1er Cru holdings that typically make the headlines.
As with many family businesses, Gilles Jayer faced the ultimate dilemma of having no descendants to inherit the property. In 2017, he decided to sell it to André Hoffmann, a Swiss national and avid wine enthusiast, who embarked on a new dynasty for the estate and renamed it Domaine Hoffmann-Jayer.
Since acquiring the property and vineyards from the Jayer era, Hoffmann has revolutionized the winemaking process. He has abandoned Gilles Jayer's robust style in favor of a more modern and balanced approach, drastically reducing the use of oak. Hoffmann's team, led by Alexandre Vernet, has made impressive progress, with the first vintage of the new era receiving critical acclaim across the board.

Wine Advocate (90)From vines in Corgoloin, the 2017 Côte de Nuits-Villages unfurls in the glass with a lovely bouquet of cherries, dark berries, rose petals, orange rind and cedar. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated for the vintage, with a fleshy core of fruit, finer-grained tannins than those found in the domaine's bottlings from the Hautes Côtes, and juicy balancing acids, concluding with an elegantly chalky finish. This is showing very well and is worth seeking out. |

Burghound (91-93)Once again there is noticeable wood framing the spicy red and dark currant scents where more aromatic breadth is present in the form of Asian-style tea and lavender wisps. There is a lovely sense of energy to the focused middle weight flavors that possess even better depth and persistence on the balanced finale. While this is certainly pretty and has enough stuffing to reward mid-term cellaring, it is not nearly as dense and powerful as it usually is. |

Burghound (86-88)Moderate reduction knocks down the fruit though there is good vibrancy and detail to the delicious flavors that exude a refreshing salinity on the focused and lingering finish. This is carrying enough structure to suggest that it will need a year or two to unwind and develop better depth. |

Burghound (86-89)A pretty and very fresh nose combines notes of both red and dark cherry with an airy array of floral nuances. Once again there is good intensity and vibrancy to the slightly bigger and richer flavors that possess a bit better depth and persistence on the mildly more structured finale. This is very good for its level and is worth considering provided you can allow it at least a few years of cellar time. |
