Back before Meursault was "in", Francois Jobard was wowing drinkers with beautifully precise, personable wines that were always a steal, and aged gracefully. By the time the wine world caught up with what Burgundians knew, Francois' son, Antoine had took over and was leading the estate to even greater heights. Today Antoine oversees an impressive array of lieu-dits and Premier Crus from Meursault and its surrounding appellations, producing stellar bottles of class, crystalline minerality and great longevity.

Antoine Jobard

With the boon of Meursault's popularity in the early aughts came the rise in notoriety of a select few, namely Coche-Dury, Roulot and Lafon. Yet right alongside them in terms of quality and age-ability were the wines of Francois Jobard, who produced from several of the very same vineyard sites. Around that same time, Antoine Jobard took over from his father (in 2007) and gradually pushed the level of perfectionism even higher.

Following his father's methods of longer elevage, in-barrel fermentations and long lees contact, Antoine's next step as to elevate the farming; biodynamic methods were instituted, and the noticeable changes are in the wines approachability in their youth, but also the exuberance and charm of the fruit in genral. They possess that classic Meursault flinty nature, with a nice splash of reduction in their youth, but are just as, if not more well-structured to age for decades as Francois' wines were.

The Jobard lineup from their 7 hectares is strong; the Bourgogne Blanc is among the top in Burgundy, Meursault En La Barre is a top lieu-dit of the house, bright and citrusy with great minerality. Don't miss the Poruzots and Genevrieres, which are stunning and deserving of decades in the cellar!

Jobard’s 2007 Meursault Genevrieres had not been given its second and final racking when I tasted it, and it struck a more placid rather than energetic tone in comparison with most of its stable mates. It’s clear that 2007 is an outstanding vintage for Genevrieres in general, and this exemplar pulls out a wealth of stops, featuring lemon, grapefruit, white peach, and bitter-sweet inner-mouth floral perfume in a luscious, sleek palate display, yet with rich suggestions of wheat germ and toasted hazelnuts adding depth. There are fewer elements here that one as to describe with mineral vocabulary than is the case with Jobard’s other 2007s and the sense of citric brightness is somewhat toned down, a feature likely to appeal to some tasters – assuming it persists in bottle, from which this ought to be worth following for at least 6-8 years. The first thing one notes about the 2004 when tasted alongside this are hints of asparagus, artichoke, and mushroom, followed by the tartness, alkalinity, and brininess to its formidably persistent, stimulating finish. Antoine Jobard’s avowed upholding of his father’s “classic style” – enhanced by late bottling but with exclusively passive lees contact – extends to his preference for 2007 over the obviously richer, lower-acid 2005 and 2006 vintages, and his analogy with 2004 “except finer, less vegetal, and straighter” is born out by parallel tasting. While these 2007s display the brightness of acids, strong mineral cast, and energy that are hallmarks of 2007, few white Burgundy collections of the vintage were as tight and restrained last summer as was Jobard’s. He began picking already on September 3 and finished in only a week, in large part to guard acidity, although his must weights were already ample, and the finished wines – certain of which were lightly chaptalized – typically in the upper 12s in percent alcohol.

Musky aromas of orange oil, hazelnut and oatmeal. Wonderfully sweet, tactile and smooth; a step up in texture from the Poruzots, with a compelling sugar/acid balance and firm supporting spine. Dense, strong and juicy, already offering compelling inner-mouth perfume. Loads of potential here.
