Emmanuel Rouget, Vosne-Romanee, 1999
Emmanuel Rouget's story is forever tied to his uncle, the legendary Henri Jayer, who took him on as protege in 1985 and gradually handed over his vines, with the domaine officially passing to Rouget in 1996; Jayer's last vintage of involvement was 2001. In the decades since, the estate has achieved near-mythical status among collectors. This village Vosne-Romanee comes from the heart of the Cote de Nuits, the appellation that anchors Rouget's holdings, and the 1999 is a fabled Burgundy vintage now drinking in full maturity. From a private collection, it's a precious chance to taste the Jayer lineage at its silky, perfumed, fully mature best.
