Here are the beautiful new 2022 wines by Nicolas-Jay.

Nicholas-Jay

July 13, 2024

Today we present a fabulous boutique winery in Oregon. Domaine Nicolas-Jay is a collaboration between Jean-Nicolas Méo (Domaine Méo-Camuzet) and Jay Boberg, co-founder of the music label, IRS Records. Jean-Nicolas Meo has experience working with grand crus of Burgundy and has translated that into understanding Oregon terroir. Jean-Nicolas has truly produced wines from some of the finest vineyards in Burgundy such as the Richebourg, Clos de Vougeot, Corton Clos Rognet and Echezeaux vineyards. Jay Boberg serves as cellar rat and aids assistant winemaker Tracy Kendall. The winery sources from their estate Bishop Creek Vineyard on in the Yamhill-Carlton appellation, as well as grapes from other outstanding Willamette Valley vineyards, including Nysa, Momtazi, Hyland and La Colina.

I have really enjoyed these bottlings since their inception. I love the new 2022 Nicolas-Jay ‘Affinites’ Chardonnay (OB, 93) which is likely the finest edition of this wine yet. Fresh and vibrant with great texture, this is already drinking beautifully now. Learn more about this gorgeous producer at https://www.nicolas-jay.com and here are my tasting notes from the outstanding Nicolas-Jay

2022 Nicolas-Jay ‘Affinites’ Chardonnay  The 2022 Nicolas-Jay ‘Affinites’ Chardonnay was stored in mainly neutral oak barrels before bottling. It is gorgeous, rich and viscous with plenty of lemon oil and brioche flavors alongside bright pear and starfruit notes. Seamless throughout the drinking experience, enjoy over the next eight years to come. Drink 2024-2032- 93

2022 Nicolas-Jay ‘L’Ensemble’ Pinot Noir- The 2022 Nicolas-Jay ‘L’Ensemble’ Pinot Noir is an outstanding wine from this slightly cooler vintage. Sourced from a range of sites in the Willamette Valley AVA, this offers red currants alongside menthol, stony minerals and shades of guava puree. The beautiful tension exudes class throughout the drinking experience. Enjoy now and over the next ten years to come. Drink 2024-2034- 93
