Jayer-Gilles has vines on the lower slopes of the Echezeaux vineyard, hence the subtitle of the wine, “du Dessous.” The wine has finesse, but with structure, and is impressively powered with tannins (although with a nagging green bean character as it opens up), spice, a definite amount of toast as well as freshly acid red fruits. ——R.V.(7/1/2010)—— 93
