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.
