The complexity and refinement of a Willamette Valley wine
The estate
The Nicolas Jay winery sprang from the friendship between Jean-Nicolas Méo, a Burgundian winemaker and Jay Boberg, an American music producer.
Located in the heart of the North Willamette Valley in Oregon, the estate tends to a terroir composed mainly of old vines. Moreover, relationships with partner winegrowers, who farm their vineyards organically and biodynamically, ensure the supply of high-quality grapes.
The vineyard
Nicolas Jay's 2016 Pinot Noir is a Willamette Valley wine made from a rigorous selection of vineyards in the northwestern part of the Oregon wine region.
