"The Richebourg (75 cases produced for the entire world) is the richest and deepest of Jayer's 1986 red burgundies. It is a generous, sumptuous wine bursting with flavor and character. Every time I taste it I somehow feel I should bow my head . . . . Anyone who loves or makes Pinot Noir should study Jayer's wines, for they serve as a modern-day reference point for those desiring to produce the best possible wines from this fickle grape variety."
