The trio of single vineyard bottlings includes our own Bishop Creek Vineyard, pictured here in pre-pandemic times. While we can’t be together in person, Jean-Nicolas will join us from Burgundy tomorrow and we hope you will, too, from the comfort of your home.

There are some vineyards that are simply so expressive, so special, so fascinating, that they must be shown off a little. ⠀ ⠀ Three single vineyards in the Willamette Valley have punctuated the Nicolas-Jay portfolio for several vintages now: the own-rooted and organic Nysa, the Biodynamic Momtazi, and our own organic estate vineyard Bishop Creek, pictured here under inspection by Jean-Nicolas. These wines are made in extremely limited quantities.⠀ ⠀ With just a few cases left of each, we are offering these three wines to the general public with an accompanying virtual tasting hosted by Jean-Nicolas Méo and Jay Boberg.⠀ ⠀ Please join Jay and Jean-Nicolas this Saturday, June 27 at 1 pm PST (4 pm EST, 10 pm Paris) for an engaging conversation about Willamette Valley terroir, the much-praised 2017 vintage and the winemaking decisions we made along the way.

Au Bon Climat is, without doubt, one of the cult wineries of California. We are honored and fortunate to welcome its winemaker, Jim Clendenen, this Saturday, June 6 for a virtual tasting. Learn more, order wines and register at the link in bio. ⠀ .⠀ Winemaking Evolution with Jim Clendenen (@aubonclimatwine)⠀ Saturday, June 6⠀ 1 pm PST | 4 pm EST | 10 pm Paris⠀ Jim Clendenen from Au Bon Climat ⠀ with Jean-Nicolas Méo (@domaine_meo_camuzet) and Jay Boberg⠀ . ⠀ Jim Clendenen started Au Bon Climat, which translates to “a well exposed vineyard,” in 1982, sourcing fruit from some of the most highly regarded vineyards in the Santa Maria Valley. The winery has received international acclaim for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, and Pinot Gris.⠀ .⠀ Jean-Nicolas and Jay have known and admired Jim for decades. Jim spent a lot of time in Burgundy, where he met Jean-Nicolas in the late 1980s. Jay first met Jim at Au Bon Climat in the mid 80s, and they've attended many wine events together over the years, including the famed Hospices de Beaune. ⠀ .⠀ This tasting will revolve around evolution of technique and changes in the wine marketplace, posing the question of how these two winemakers and their winemaking have developed. The virtual tasting will incorporate one Chardonnay and one Pinot Noir from each winery, and promises to be a lot of fun.⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .#viensavecnous⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #nicolasjay #wine #oregon #burgundy #pinotnoir #wvwine #virtualtasting

Today is World Chardonnay Day 💫 We're grateful to make this beautiful wine from vines at our own Bishop Creek Vineyard and other singular sites in the region. .⠀ Oregon Chardonnay has been getting a lot more attention of late. Jean-Nicolas Méo made a tiny quantity of Chardonnay at Nicolas-Jay in 2017 and we're on the cusp of releasing a slightly larger production of a new cuvée called Affinités. Stay tuned for the wide release coming soon!
