Rare witnesses to the Henri Jayer era on the Richebourg — 1959 and 1978 Henri Jayer’s extraordinary Richebourg is a wine which combines power and supreme elegance... one of the most sensual and complex wines he ever produced at the Domaine. Elaborated over a period of more than 40 years, from the Richebourg vines of what is now Domaine Meo-Camuzet, this wine is the combination of two parcels of vines. The smaller one (0.05 ha) is located just below Cros Parantoux in the Richebourg climat, the second (0.30 ha) is located just north of Cros Parantoux in the Verroilles climat. From 1985 onwards, part of the Riche- bourg production was sold under the Meo-Camuzet label, with Henri Jayer dramatically reducing its production for these latter vintages, until 1987, which marked his last vintage of Richebourg. These two rare bottles of Richebourg 1959 and 1978 – which the master himself considered to be his greatest successes, to the point of keeping a good quantity in his personal cellar for family events, such as the christening of his grandson... are of the purest provenance. Acquired by a private collector directly from Henri’s family in 2018, these two bottles, since their acquisition, have been preserved under the care of Baghera/wines who have safeguarded them on behalf of the collector, in optimal conditions of temperature and hygrometry, in their underground storehouse in the Geneva Ports Francs. Adorned with new labels and capsules in 2018 by Henri Jayer’s family before their departure for Switzerland, these two anthology bottles offer the most perfect provenance and an absolutely impeccable state of preservation.
