The Wine
This is Jobard’s top red and the first allocation many will have seen of it. The fruit comes from a 0.6-hectare parcel in the “island” of Petit Epenots, between Grand Epenots and Pezerolles, planted in 1982 and 1986. While Epenots can often lean toward the richer, more muscular end of Pommard, Jobard’s version is noted for combining Pommard substance with a finer, more textural style that edges toward Volnay in feel. More broadly, Jobard’s Pinot work is based around brightness, perfume and finesse, with mostly destemmed fruit, gentle extraction and ageing in 400-litre barrels. It is a serious vineyard and now clearly a serious red-wine address.
Cellared Says
This is the bottle that really confirms the shift at Jobard from excellent red winemaker to genuinely important one. Epenots has the class and scale, but here it also seems to have finesse. A proper cellar wine.
Reviews
“Like the Montrevenots there’s a barrel element and a fruit that is almost too much! But this is getting better and better with air – very impressive wine! More saline, rounder, but finishing more direct and intense – despite this wine being all over the place today! Give it time – it will undoubtedly be excellent when assembled then bottled!”
Bill Nanson, Burgundy Report.
Here too there is just enough reduction present to push the underlying fruit to the background. By contrast, there is excellent verve and freshness to the solidly voluminous medium-bodied flavors that possess slightly better mid-palate density while delivering good power and length on the more structured finale. This is also very good and a wine that should drink well after only 5-ish or so years of keeping. ♥ Sweet spot Outstanding

“Mid crimson. An interesting complex and more savoury nose. A little more red fruit perfume. 50 years old vines which were in not too bad a state. A bit more, in fact a lot more, punch behind, with a weight of dark fruit and an altogether more complete finish. The fruit keeps returning.”
91–93 points, Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy.
