The Wine
This is Jobard’s Bourgogne Rouge, and a first allocation for many buyers. It is a petit Pommard blend from four lieux-dits below the village: L’Aumônne, Taupe Maison Dieu, En la Taupe and Les Crenilles. The holding covers 1.5 hectares, with an additional hectare pulled out and replanted in 2024. As with all Jobard’s reds, the aim is brightness, perfume and finesse. He generally destems most of the fruit, favours gentle maceration and only short pump-overs, then matures the wines in 400-litre barrels. Antoine describes the result as the kind of Burgundy he most wants to drink: digestible, perfumed and inviting.
Cellared Says
This sounds exactly like the kind of Bourgogne Rouge worth chasing: proper village pedigree in all but name, and made by someone now clearly as gifted with Pinot as he is with Chardonnay. A very good place to start if you want to understand the red side of Jobard.
Reviews
“Hmm, round, sweet and perfumed. Round, supple, a nice intensity, and some finishing bitters here – keep it for 1-2 years. Lots of tasty flavour here.”
