2006 MEURSAULT 1er Cru Charmes Domaine Rémi Jobard
| Grapes: Chardonnay | Origin: France, Burgundy |
Lea & Sandeman review
Closed when tasted in November, a mildly almondy tension, taut and bright, wiry and long. This probably needs even more time than the Poruzots. As Rémi puts it, this is "more elegant than some other vintages, not as powerful as usual, a bit more in finesse". Intense, long.Other reviews and comments
Good pale color. Deeply pitched aromas of citrus fruit, hazelnut and vanillin oak; a bit less pristine than the Genevrieres. The fattest and most glyceral of these young 2006s, with thick, tactile flavors of musky citrus fruits and licorice. This boasts excellent volume but is less expressive today in the middle palate than the Genevrieres. More classically dry on the back.

Classic Charmes aromas of lemon, smoke, vanilla and hazelnut. Concentrated and silky, with lovely finesse to the flavors of dried fruits, lemon, nuts and stone. Fat, full, densely packed wine, with a firm acid edge giving it lovely balance. Finishes firm and long. This one featured the lowest crop level among Jobard's '06s, at just 35 hectoliters per hectare.

(from a small .17 ha parcel located in Charmes du Haut that abuts Perrières). Somewhat surprisingly, this is even more elegant if not more complex or layered with a citrusy and ripe orchard fruit nose that is in perfect keeping with the naturally sweet, palate staining and full-bodied flavors that possess solid mid-palate concentration and a mouth coating, intense and subtly mineral-infused finish. A beautiful wine that doesn?t quite have the overall class of the
Genevrières but every bit as much depth and length. 2012+
