Description

Antoine has three hectares of village Meursault covering seven parcels: En La Barre, Meix Tavaux, Tillets, Les Chaumes, Les Corbins, Sous La Velle and Le Pré de Manche. He bottled these separately until 2020, when he decided to create this cuvée. This has a restrained nose of fresh fruit and delicate vanilla. The palate is shiny, luxurious and creamy, with beautiful nutmeg spice and good weight. The bright mineral finish counteracts any sense of heaviness.

Critics reviews

89-91/100

A green tint to the colour. Some crunch. A little more tension throughout the palate, apple fruit and good length. Working very well, with a very complete white fruit aftertaste.

Drink 2027 - 2032

90-92/100

The 2023 Meursault Village, a blend of seven lieux-dits, has a crisp and focused bouquet with fine mineralité and light mossy/undergrowth scents that emerge with time. The palate is very well balanced with a slightly tangy entry. There is plenty of energy here, remaining focused and poised with touches of apricot and peach skin toward the finish. This will be a very pretty Meursault Village, just like the 2022.

Drink 2026 - 2040

About The Wine

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is arguably the most versatile white grape variety in the world. Grown globally and beloved for its adaptability, it can produce wines that range from crisp and mineral to rich and opulent. It thrives in a wide range of soils but performs best in limestone-rich terroirs, such as those found in Chablis, Champagne, and the Côte d'Or.

Meursault

Famed as the jewel of Burgundy’s white wines, Meursault is home to more top producers than any other commune in the Côte d’Or. Renowned for its rich, savory style with nutty, honeyed depth and a creamy oak influence, Meursault crafts both luxurious and long-lived whites. This is the beating heart of opulent, age-worthy Chardonnay, from its celebrated Premiers Crus to its characterful village lieux-dits.

Domaine Antoine Jobard

This white-wine focused domaine is renowned for its steely, taut Meursault. Antoine joined his father, François, here in 2002. He assumed sole charge in ’07, after his father’s 50th vintage. Initially, any changes were minimal. Now, there’s a clear move towards earlier bottling, with two winters in barrel no longer seen as the yardstick. This is both a stylistic choice and a response to warmer and earlier harvests. All decisions are now taken with a view towards greater flexibility, allowing more or less reduction from barrel age as required.
