Nicolas-Jay Estate is born of a three-decade friendship between Burgundian winemaker Jean-Nicolas Méo and music entrepreneur Jay Boberg.
Jean-Nicolas was the innovator behind the rise of Domaine Méo-Camuzet as one of the most sought-after and collectible Burgundy producers in the last thirty years. Due to his natural understanding of viticulture and wine, combined with the mastery of prestigious vineyards left by his family and developed by Jean-Nicolas himself, Méo-Camuzet rests amongst an elite few in benchmark level wines and enjoys a lofty status in Burgundy today.
Jay Boberg brought more than his share of innovation and inspiration to the table as the two friends set forth in the early 2010s to produce top-quality Willamette Valley wine. Jay cofounded the seminal indie label IRS Records in the 1980s, and later became the President of MCA/Universal Records, fostering and launching bands like R.E.M, The Go-Go’s, Blink-182, Mary J. Blige, Sublime, The Roots, and B.B. King. Jay’s visionary approach for his own craft gives him an eye and approach to the partnership like few others in the wine industry.
