Vineyard Chevalières

Vines planted in 1940. A cool north-easterly exposure, these are the vines he picks last. Surprisingly expressive and broad, it has an extra pulse of juiciness and energy. A real sense of limestone, fresh and dense and pure. Very long. Drinking range: 2019 - L&S (Nov 2015)

Pale, bright lemon-yellow color. Pure, high-pitched scents of citrus zest, flowers and minerals. Juicy and firmly built, with urgent lemon and lime flavors complemented by harmonious minerality. This very precise, vibrant, youthfully tight Meursault finishes with terrific length, lift and grip. At this point in our tasting, Jobard compared the 2014s to the 2012s, noting that the '14s are more minerally while the '12s are fruitier.

Creamy nose. Very flattering with a good blend of rich fruit and precision. Just slightly chewy on the end but this is pretty easy to like. Drinking range: 2017 - 2023 Rating: 16.5 Jancis Robinson OBE MW - www.JancisRobinson.com (Jan 2016)

The 2014 Meursault les Chevalières comes from east-facing vines planted back in 1940 that tend to matured late, the oldest under the aegis of Remi Jobard. It shares that apricot blossom note with the 2014 Les Narvaux, aromatics that you might describe as "neat and tidy," with peachy notes developing in the glass after. The palate is fresh on the entry with a taut line line acidity, much more reticent than the aromatics, but there is appreciable density in the mouth and a lovely spicy aftertaste. Delicious Meursault -- no more, no less. Drinking range: 2017 - 2029 Rating: 89-91 Neal Martin, www.vinous.com (Dec 2015)

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.
