Even broader than the Poruzots, but this is still a focused and precise wine. Citrus melded with peach and complex notes of subtle oak spice and a lively bright line of pure mineral. Bracingly fresh, this has all it needs to age gracefully over six to ten years. L&S (Jan 2012)

The 2010 Meursault Les Genevrières 1er Cru is more neutral in style on a nose of Puligny-Montrachet–like austerity. I would like to have seen more Meursault character here; I feel a bit shortchanged aromatically. The palate is saline on the entry and lightly spiced with commendable tension. It feels very linear and, to quibble, it is missing a little personality toward the finish. Capable, but not memorable. Tasted at Sarah Marsh’s 2010 white burgundy tasting in London.

Pale, bright straw-yellow. Riesling-like peach and pineapple on the nose. Rich and superripe; by far the sweetest of these 2010s to this point. Tangy orange and spice flavors are nicely supported by brisk acidity. Superconcentrated, sexy Meursault with a tactile, very long finish that currently shows a youthfully bitter edge. For the cellar.

The 2010 Meursault Genevrieres is another fabulous wine from Jobard. Today, the battle is between the intensity of the fruit and the wine’s minerality, both of which play off each other. Pears, citrus, crushed rocks and white peaches flesh out over time, but today, the 2010 is mostly about texture and vibrancy, two qualities it has in spades. This is a delicate, feminine, understated style for Genevrieres. But it works, and then some. This is a great showing from Remi Jobard.

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.
