Burgundy 2018: ANTOINE JOBARD

Antoine_Jobard.jpg

Located near Comtes Lafon, this small (7 ha) family run Domaine goes back 5 generations.

Since taking over from his father in 2004 Antoine Jobard has moved towards a more forward style that has resulted in some sensuous and expressive wines.  Classic Meursault with intense ripe fruit and moderate use of new oak allowing each vintage to express itself.

"I do have my favourite estates in Burgundy – and Domaine Antoine Jobard is certainly one of them. I have tasted, enjoyed, engulfed and consumed many bottles from this estate... they maintain the refined minerally focused style, adding layers of complexity as the wines ages. These are understated purist wines, for those who value terroir, refinement and focus."

Villages

MEURSAULT TILLETS 2018
£250 per 6x75 IB
"The 2018 Meursault Les Tillets comes from 0.66 hectares of vine. It is tighter and more backward on the nose compared to the En La Barre, and slightly earthier in style, with flinty, chalky notes reluctantly unfolding. The well-balanced palate delivers good concentration on the entry and notes of orange zest, white peaches and a healthy dash of lemongrass. Great tension and wonderful spiciness surface on a finish that is more outgoing than the aromatics at the moment. Excellent.  Drink 2022-2036"

Premiers Cru

"The 2018 Meursault-Blagny 1er Cru comes from a single plot of around half a hectare in the lieu-dit of La Pièce Sous La Bois. It conveys superb terroir expression, almost Puligny-like in its evocation of wet, cold limestone, wet pavement after a sudden shower and light lemon peel elements. The palate is taut and crisp on the entry, a fine bead of acidity slicing through the intense citrus and orange peel notes, which segue into a quite a spicy ginger-tinged finish. Drink 2022-2038"

MEURSAULT GENEVRIERES 1er Cru 2018
£500 per 6x75 IB
"The 2018 Meursault Genevrières 1er Cru comes from a single 0.50-hectare parcel of vines. This has a very feisty bouquet, quite feral compared to its peers, showing just a touch of warmth compared to the more refined Poruzots. The palate is more "controlled" but still quite rich and maybe overly generous at the expense of tension and nervosité, especially on the finish. I would like to revisit this once in bottle."
