Meursault Sous la Velle AOC 2022 1500ml Magnum

Wine Description for Meursault Sous la Velle AOC 2022 1500ml Magnum by Rémi Jobard

Colour & Appearance

Luminous golden yellow with greenish reflections, crystal clear and brilliant in the glass. The magnum bottle promises slower maturation and even greater freshness.

Nose

Precise and elegant: white flowers, lemon zest and green apple in the foreground, underpinned by fine hazelnut notes and a hint of brioche. The aromatics are restrained yet complex – typical of Jobard’s minimalist cellar technique. With air, acacia blossoms and a subtle minerality reminiscent of wet stones develop.

Palate

Lean and taut, with remarkable tension between creamy texture and vibrant acidity. The moderate use of new oak reveals itself in discreet wood notes that never dominate. On the palate, white peaches, almonds and a fine salinity unfold, lending the wine excellent drinkability. Two winters in barrel have given the 2022 natural stability and depth.

Finish

Long and mineral, with persistent citrus freshness and a fine, chalky finish. Elegance is maintained throughout – not a gram too much, nothing superfluous.

Terroir & Origin

The vineyard site Sous la Velle lies at the southern edge of Meursault and produces wines with fine minerality. Rémi Jobard tends his parcels with the greatest respect for terroir – intensive vineyard work, minimal intervention.

Grape Variety & Vinification

100% Chardonnay, aged in barrels with only 20% new oak. Increasingly, 600-litre Stockinger half-barrels are also being used, which preserve the wine’s leanness and minerality. Deliberately bottled unfiltered – as Rémi Jobard has practised for generations.

Food Pairing Recommendations

Perfect with scallops, lobster with butter, Poularde de Bresse with morel sauce or aged Comté. Also a revelation with roasted turbot or lobster salad.

Special Features

From a winemaking family with roots dating back to the 16th century. The magnum size guarantees optimal ageing conditions and makes this Meursault the ideal companion for special occasions.
