From 9 parcels.8 are more than 40 years old. Just 1 parcel is less. All between the main road and the village - an almost contiguous strip. All Remi’s plots touch the village wines and 3 out of 8 border 1er Cru Charmes vineyard - these 3 make up the majority of the blend. Very supple, very charming. But there is a firm middle, more serious, well loaded. Racy too. If this was allowed to be labelled Meursault you would not be disappointed at the quality and impact in the glass. L&S (Oct 2023)

*Case price discount: Mix any 12 bottles of wine (or 9 litre equivalent) or 6 bottles of Champagne, Spirits, Sweet Wine or Fortified (4.5 litres) to get the discounted 'case price' for each bottle.

A discreet application of wood can be found on the essence of poached pear, floral and citrus confit-scented nose. There is better energy, if not the same richness or density as the aligoté, to the delicious medium weight flavors that retain good delineation on the clean, dry and balanced finale. This is quite good for its level and worth considering. Drinking range: 2024 - 2026 Rating: 86-89 Allen Meadows, www.Burghound.com (Jun 2024)

From 9 plots adjacent to AOC Meursault. A clear pale colour, quite stylish, though the nose may be knocked back a bit by the bottling. Excellent generous fruit on the palate, a fine thread of acidity through the orchard fruit, we are definitely in baby Meursault territory here. Drink from 2025-2028.

This is always a winner, and while everyone is allowed a wobble once in a while, and many wobbled in 2022, Jobard kept to the straight and narrow (literally), and this is how I like my wines. This is a beautiful Chardonnay, which meant I did not need to look any further into the RJ portfolio. This wine has everything I require. Rating: 17.5 Matthew Jukes www.matthewjukes.com (Jan 2024)

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.
