Who is Emmanuel Rouget and what is his connection to Henri Jayer?
Emmanuel Rouget is a Burgundian winegrower based in Flagey-Échezeaux, in the Côte de Nuits. He is the nephew of Henri Jayer, a legendary figure in Burgundian viticulture, and began working alongside him as early as 1976 to learn how to respect the terroir and bring out the best in Pinot Noir. In 1985, Henri Jayer took him under his wing as a protégé and began leasing part of his vineyards to him. Today, Domaine Emmanuel Rouget is recognised as the direct heir to his uncle's winemaking style and philosophy, perpetuating an exceptional expertise passed down from generation to generation.
