R\u00e9mi Jobard is a recognised new-schooler in Meursault. For around 30 years, he has only used organic fertilisers, and in 2008 he was certified for organic farming. Jobard's leitmotif is Meursault's chalky soils, which he wants to make sing through careful vinification. Instead of small 228-litre barrique barrels, Jobard uses Stockinger barrels with a capacity of 600 litres. The wood is not used for its own sake, but for the slow exchange of oxygen. This ageing process results in crystalline, polished wines with deep minerality and a fine melting texture.<\/p>\n
The Bourgogne C\u00f4te d'Or category is a recently introduced new appellation designation. It limits the production zone for these wines to the core area of the C\u00f4te d'Or. The vineyards for this wine all come from sites neighbouring Meursault, two of which lie directly below the Charmes 1er Cru site.<\/p>\n

The 2022 Bourgogne C\u00f4te d'Or blanc Vieilles Vignes from R\u00e9mi Jobard performs on the green-yellow side on the nose. Delicately citrusy, it is reminiscent of lemon oil, lemon blossom and lemon balm, along with Granny Smith, the peel rather than the flesh, and some lime zest. A general impression of crystalline clarity and transparency.<\/p>\n
Mouth: <\/p>\n
Clear as a bell and polished on the palate with a vibrant acid nerve and almost powdery fine phenolics, which give it additional speed on the palate. Despite its finesse and crystalline nature, the power of the 2022 vintage is evident. Full-bodied with high intensity and profound bass, it pulsates with maximum vibration into the cool, salty finish.<\/p>\n
