Antoine Jobard has decided in recent vintages to rationalise his Meursault village into a single cuvée because “the wine is simply better that way.” This means that his parcel in En La Barre, located just behind the cellar (and abutting Lafon’s Clos de la Barre), and Les Tillets, both historically bottled separately, now make up around 50% of this cuvée. No wonder it’s so brilliant! The other climats are no slouches either, and include: Meix Tavaux, Les Corbins, Sous La Velle, Les Chaumes de Narvaux and Le Pré de Manche. Vine age across the parcels varies from 16 to 50 years old. More than ever, then, Jobard’s Meursault represents one of this village’s benchmark bottlings.
Here’s a good breadth of aroma, lightly textured. Very silky and sinuous – a broad line of delicious flavour – not ultra energetic but plenty and very Meursault. That’s a super villages!
