Wine Club and Consumer Sales Manager
About us:
The Nicolas-Jay Estate is a small-production, hand-crafted Pinot Noir and Chardonnay producer located on the north-side of the Dundee Hills Appellation. The story of this brand started with the three-decade friendship between our founders, Burgundian winemaker Jean-Nicolas Méo (Domaine Méo-Camuzet) and music entrepreneur Jay Boberg. Our viticulture and winemaking are informed by years of working the soils of Burgundy’s Grand Crus, an understanding we bring to old-vine sites in the Willamette Valley, and to our Bishop Creek estate vineyard in Yamhill-Carlton. The winery and tasting room are nestled inside a beautiful amphitheater shaped site, totaling 53 acres and showcases dramatic elevation changes and rolling hills of vineyard plantings. Our Confrérie (wine club) offers exclusive wines and entertaining events, resulting in a close-knit community across the US of wine lovers, serious collectors and friends. Viens avec nous.
