Half the fruit for this excellent Bourgogne comes from Puligny and the other half from the Cote Chalonaise. Organic. Lovely zip and freshness. There is a polish and a sleek feel here too - the fruit in the mid-palate does carry some weight. Then pares in nicely with some grip at the back. Perky Bourgogne Blanc - charming - with a healthy sweet-fruited line and good lift. L&S (Oct 2023)

subtle application of wood frames the ripe and nicely fresh aromas of mostly pear and apple. The juicy, delicious and plump middleweight flavors are supported by citrus-tinged acidity on the ever-so-mildly warm though still refreshing finish. Drinking range: 2024 - 2025 Rating: 86-88 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2024)

Not organic. Quite a full yellow colour. Plums, evidently quite ripe, not too rich but not the most energetic either. A solid competent mouthful with a little more energy on the palate, and an attractive if fleshy finish. Drink from 2024-2025.

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.

The Drink Le Tour Mixed Case: A 12-Bottle Journey Through Terroir and Topography
There is a profound connection between the gruelling topography of a grand tour and the terroir that affects great wine. The steep escarpments that test the explosive climbing power of the peloton are the very same bedrocks that force vine roots deep into the earth, yielding wines of crystalline minerality and tension. As the cyclists gear up for the grand tour, we have assembled the ultimate spectators companion: the Drink Le Tour collection. This 12-bottle mixed case lets you taste the terrain exactly as the riders cross it, complete with a bespoke, exclusive A4 infographic map in every box to help you navigate the route.
Taste the Route Stage by Stage:

  • Stage 1: 2023 ACÚSTIC BLANC, Acústic Celler: The journey begins in the punishing heat of the Pyrenean foothills. This brilliant, old-vine Garnacha Blanca offers a wine of profound structural concentration that mirrors the arid, rocky terrain.

  • Stage 4: JEAN-LOUIS DENOIS Méthode Traditionelle Chardonnay-Pinot Noir Brut: As the route flattens into the windswept Languedoc plateaus, we pause for a high-altitude, maverick Pyrenean fizz that beautifully rivals true Champagne.

  • Stage 4: 2021 FIGURE LIBRE Chenin Blanc, Domaine Gayda: A rebellious white wine crafted to defy regional Languedoc conventions with its striking purity and energy.

  • Stage 4: 2022 FIGURE LIBRE Cabernet Franc, Domaine Gayda: The red counterpart to Gayda's rebellious spirit, offering an authentic, expressive, and unadulterated varietal profile.

  • Stage 7: 2019 CHÂTEAU L'ARGENTEYRE Cru Bourgeois Médoc: Sweeping across the Atlantic coastal flats of Bordeaux, this Left Bank red delivers exceptional structure and classic succulent fruit.

  • Stage 7: 2020 LE PESSAC-LÉOGNAN du Domaine de Chevalier: A grand addition showcasing the aristocratic, pine-sheltered elegance and balance of a legendary estate.

  • Stage 11: 2024 SANCERRE Chavignol, Domaine Delaporte: The climbing truly begins in the central Loire. This electric Sancerre perfectly captures the blinding white chalk of the famous Monts Damnés.

  • Stage 12: 2022 BOURGOGNE BLANC, Rémi Jobard: Dropping into the Burgundian heartland, this bottle represents the first step in tasting the region's microscopic geographical fractures.

  • Stage 12: 2022 GIVRY Blanc Clos des Vignes Rondes, Domaine François Lumpp: A luminous and beautifully precise white Burgundy that highlights the exceptional potential of the Côte Chalonnaise.

  • Stage 12: 2022 MERCUREY Vieilles Vignes, Domaine Raquillet: A robust, deeply textured red Burgundy crafted from old vines that anchors the midsection of our tasting journey.

  • Stage 14: 2023 RIBEAUVILLÉ, Domaine Marcel Deiss: The final attritional climbs of the Vosges mountains are rewarded by a profound, co-planted Alsatian field blend grown on a highly complex geological fault line.

  • Stage 21: TANDEM Brut Fleury-la-Rivière, Champagne M & G Heucq NV: As the finish line approaches, we celebrate in the Marne Valley with this deeply complex, autolytic, and celebratory grower Champagne.

Let the athletes do the sweating. All you need is a corkscrew and a glass to enjoy the ultimate grand tour. ```[cite: 10]
