Nicolas Jay Nysa Pinot Noir 2021

Nicolas-Jay Estate, a prominent producer of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay in Oregon`s Willamette Valley, emerged from a three-decade friendship between music entrepreneur Jay Boberg and Burgundy winemaker Jean-Nicolas Méo of Domaine Méo-Camuzet. The Nysa Vineyard, located at an elevation ranging from 600 to 700 feet in the Dundee Hills, was planted in 1990 by Michael Mega and stands renowned as the origin of some of Oregon’s finest Pinot Noirs. Nicolas-Jay`s grapes are sourced from a prized block of own-rooted Pommard clone vines, part of the site`s original 1990 plantings. These closely spaced vines thrive in Jory volcanic soils with an underlying layer of basalt bedrock, facilitating dry farming for the vines.
