Meursault En Luraule AOC 2022

Wine description for the Meursault En Luraule AOC 2022 from Rémi Jobard

Colour & appearance

Pale straw yellow with brilliant greenish reflections. Crystal clear and of medium viscosity, indicating precise craftsmanship.

Nose

The fragrance reveals itself with Remarkable restraint - Initially citrusy notes of lime zest and unripe pear, then subtle aromas of white flowers, hazelnut and freshly cut hay unfold. On contact with the air, mineral notes of wet limestone emerge - a typical characteristic of Jobard's loyalty to the terroir.

Palate

On the palate, the Characteristic voltage of a great Meursault - taut and precise, with a brilliant acid structure that gives the wine backbone. The fruit is delicate, not exuberant: white peaches, citrus fruits and a hint of quince. The moderate use of wood (only 20% Neuholz and Stockinger halves) emphasises the minerality without masking it. The finish is long, salty and accompanied by a fascinating herbal note.

General information

Rémi Jobard, whose family tradition dates back to the 16th century, embodies the new generation of Burgundian winemakers who prioritise authenticity over opulence. His philosophy - intensive work in the vineyard, minimal intervention in the cellar - is perfectly reflected in this 2022 Meursault En Luraule. The 2022 vintage combines maturity with freshness and shows that balance can be maintained even in warmer years.

Food pairing suggestions

This wine calls for dishes that respect its finesse: Sole fillet in beurre blanc, Scallops with lemon butter or a classic Poulet de Bresse with morels. Also with matured Comté or Époisses At moderate maturity, the wine proves to be an excellent partner.

Special features

The Deliberate non-filtration and the long barrel ageing over two winters give this wine a natural stability and complexity that sets it apart from many more modern interpretations. While many Meursaults focus on power and richness, Jobard's version is characterised by precision and transparency - a wine that represents the future of Burgundy without forgetting its past. The ageing potential is considerable, with an optimal drinking period between 2026 and 2032.
