PRE-ORDER About Winery Domaine d’Auvenay, founded by Lalou Bize-Leroy in the late 1970s (some accounts cite 1979, others 1988), is one of Burgundy’s most enigmatic and prestigious estates. Situated in Saint-Romain, it reflects Bize-Leroy’s uncompromising philosophy of biodynamic viticulture, which she championed long before it became widely accepted. With tiny vineyard holdings and extremely limited production, Auvenay has earned cult status among collectors for its rare, terroir-driven wines that combine purity, intensity, and longevity. Often described as the “rebellious counterpart” to Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, where Bize-Leroy once played a leading role, Domaine d’Auvenay embodies her personal vision of Burgundy: wines crafted with reverence for nature, precision, and individuality.

PRE-ORDER About Winery Domaine Emmanuel Rouget, founded in 1985 in Flagey-Echézeaux, Burgundy, carries forward the legendary winemaking legacy of Henri Jayer, Emmanuel’s uncle and mentor, and has since become one of the most sought-after producers of Pinot Noir in the Côte de Nuits. Rouget began his domaine when Henri Jayer, already a revered figure in Burgundy, chose him as his protégé and entrusted him with vineyards, as Jayer’s daughters were not interested in winemaking. From the mid-1980s onward, Rouget took over parcels in Vosne-Romanée, Vosne-Romanée Premier Cru, and Echézeaux Grand Cru, later expanding holdings into Côtes de Nuits-Villages, Savigny-lès-Beaune, and Nuits-Saint-Georges. His wines quickly gained international acclaim for their depth, purity, and faithful expression of terroir, echoing Jayer’s philosophy of meticulous vineyard care and minimal intervention in the cellar. Today, Emmanuel Rouget manages the domaine alongside his sons Nicolas and Guillaume, ensuring continuity of style and reputation. With limited production and exceptional quality, Domaine Emmanuel Rouget has achieved near-mythical status among collectors, producing some of Burgundy’s most coveted bottles.

PRE-ORDER About Winery The Jayer family’s winemaking tradition in Vosne-Romanée dates back to the early 20th century, with Georges Jayer establishing his own domaine alongside his brother Henri. Georges inherited vineyard parcels in Vosne-Romanée and Échezeaux, cultivating Pinot Noir with a focus on traditional Burgundian methods. Unlike Henri, who became famous for innovations such as eliminating chemical herbicides and destemming grapes, Georges remained more discreet, producing wines that were appreciated locally and by collectors seeking authentic expressions of Vosne terroir. His domaine contributed to the family’s reputation as one of Burgundy’s most influential winemaking dynasties, with Henri’s cult status later overshadowing Georges’s quieter but steady role in maintaining the family’s viticultural heritage. Today, bottles from Georges Jayer are rare, offering a glimpse into the understated yet historically significant branch of the Jayer legacy.
