"1987 was the last vintage of the Vosne-RomanĂ©e âBrĂ»lĂ©esâ to be bottled under the Henri Jayer label, as the vines that were en metayage reverted back to Domaine MĂ©o-Camuzet upon Jayerâs 65th birthday in 1987. The vintage of 1987 produced a number of truly delicious wines . . . . The bouquet is as pure and complex as ever . . . . Scents of ripe raspberries, plums, dark chocolate, spit-roasted venison, Vosne spices, sous bois, vinesmoke and vanillin oak jump from the glass. On the palate the wine is medium-bodied, but deep and intensely flavored, with great definition and purity, and a fine, long and tangy finish."

The world's most influential fine-wine producer and the benchmark for Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne and the Rhone. Its appellation (AOC) system codifies geography, grape and method, and its wines set the global standard for age-worthiness and terroir expression.
Produces the world's most revered Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from a mosaic of tiny, terroir-defined climats. Its hierarchy of village, Premier Cru and Grand Cru vineyards makes site the ultimate expression of quality.
Arguably Burgundy's most exalted village, home to legendary Grand Crus. Its Pinot Noir is renowned for perfume, silk and sublime complexity.
