(from .45 ha parcel of 15+ year old vines that abuts Goutte d’Or aged in 20% new oak). Aslightly more elegant nose that is airy, layered and a bit more complex as well with good ripeness to the mostly orchard fruit aromas that slide gracefully into detailed, precise and impressively intense flavors that have enough dry extract to stain the palate on the persistent finish. Very solid quality for villages level juice and worth a look. 2012+ Rating: 89 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2009)

Punchy and focused. Lime concentrate. A bit chewy. 2011-2014 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2009)

Lime and crushed stone aromas along with a bit of biscuity reduction. Then juicy and sweet, with enticing flavors of lime and spices. This broad, sweet village wine offers excellent energy and finishes with very good grip. There are five different plantings that go into this cuvee: Jobard bought these vines when they were "very young," just before the 1994 harvest.

Domaine Rémi Jobard

Rémi has been making small qualitative changes ever since he took over here in 1996. The entire vineyard is cordon-pruned, so yields are naturally limited. There has been no use of fertiliser since 1994, and the vineyard is grassed-over to encourage the vine roots to go deep. The domaine has been certified organic from 2008. He says that the two most important things are the absence of weedkiller (and thus the necessity to plough, which cuts any surface roots and makes the vine go deeper) and not adding any fertiliser which again makes the roots go deeper to find nutrients.

Rémi has two vast presses, to enable him to press very slowly over six hours, and this has resulted in a big jump in finesse. The élevage now lasts nearly fifteen months, so as to allow the wines to develop slowly and to avoid fining. As a result these are wines which take a moment to show, but which reward the patient with complexity and great depth of flavour.

Rémi made a move from traditional barrels to foudres made of a mix of French, Austrian and Slavonian oak, constructed by Austrian cooper Stockinger, and having added a new one (or two) each year, there's barely a normal barrel left. He likes the way the wines develop in these large volumes, in which the 'oaking' effect is minimised.
