About Domaine Hoffmann-Jayer
When the Jayer-Gilles estate, founded in the 1950s, was purchased in 2017, its new owner André Hoffmann—a well-known environmentalist whose father Luc co-founded the World Wildlife Fund—set out to improve farming practices and to refine cellar practices in the service of purity and balance.
The 1.8-hectare lieu-dit of “Les Chasserots”, the source of the grapes for Cuvée Rosalie, is a vineyard of 50-year-old vines in the Haut-Cote de Nuits entirely controlled by the Hoffman-Jayer estate. There, the soil is darker, thinner, and therefore closer to the limestone “mother rock”. The Cuvée Rosalie is a selection of three of the most promising barrels produced from this parcel, with élevage entirely in a mix of one-to-three-year-old oak.
