Emmanuel Rouget

Heir to the Jayer style

Since 1979, Emmanuel Rouget has learned a lot from his famous uncle Henri Jayer (one of the best winemakers in the entire word). In 1985, Emmanuel Rouget produced his very first wine. He gradually came into possession of his uncle’s vineyards, then inherited the entire Flagey-Echezeaux estate (located on the Côte de Nuits) when Henri Jayer died in 2006.

He still continues to use the same methods as his uncle: spur-pruning, low yields, respect for the soils and harvesting when grapes are ripe. Like his uncle Henri used to say: "A great wine is made in the vineyard, not in the cellar." That's why Emmanuel Rouget is probably one of the best heirs to the Henri Jayer style of Burgundy wines: fine, elegant, racy and fruity; with a beautiful complexity.
