A délice! Very pure, aerial and delicate. From six different parcels all of which touch the Meursault appellation. Taut but sweetly moreish too. 2014-2020+. L&S (Dec 2013)

There is a touch of wood sitting atop reduction and sulfur-based aromas and the preparation for the bottling was clearly in evidence here. There is excellent richness to the attractively textured medium weight flavors that are already accessible before terminating in a delicious and solidly persistent finish. This should be a good example that will drink well almost immediately. 2015+ Rating: 85-88 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2014)

Rich and vibrant aroma with plenty of fruit. Juicy, ripe, rounded and generous palate. Quite a lot of oak showing on this, but it will not be on the finished wine. Good acidity on the finish. A forward style. From 2014Sarah Marsh MW, The Burgundy Briefing (Feb 2014)

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.
