Emmanuel Rouget Échezeaux Grand Cru 2004 from Henri Jayer’s nephew

Emmanuel Rouget is the nephew of Henri Jayer and trained under him. Jayer transferred his vineyards to Rouget in 1996, and the estate is based in Flagey-Échezeaux. This bottle is its Échezeaux 2004, a dry red made from Pinot Noir and sold in the 0.75 L format. It is a Grand Cru.

Rouget holds about 1.4 ha of Échezeaux, including parcels in Les Cruots and Les Treux. Jayer’s last vintage was 2001, so the 2004 is Rouget’s own work.
