Brilliant, transparent ruby red with lighter reflections on the rim, typical of a young, elegant Pinot Noir from Burgundy.<\/p>\n
A seductive bouquet of red forest berries, especially raspberry and wild cherry, complemented by subtle notes of violet and damp forest floor. Fine hints of clove and a subtle mineral component develop on contact with the air, hinting at the limestone soils of Les Santenots.<\/p>\n
On the palate, the classic finesse of a Volnay<\/strong> - Silky in texture, with a precise acid structure and fine, well-integrated tannins. The wine reveals aromas of redcurrants and sour cherries, underpinned by a subtle spiciness and an almost salty minerality. The moderate alcohol content of 13% gives the wine a pleasant balance. The influence of the wood ageing is remarkably restrained and supports the fruit without dominating it - a testament to Jobard's careful cellar technique.<\/p>\n The 2022 vintage presents itself as a classic year for Burgundy with balanced ripeness and good acid structure. Les Santenots, one of Volnay's most prestigious premier cru sites, borders Meursault and brings a certain structure and minerality to the wine that sets it apart from other Volnay sites. R\u00e9mi Jobard's decision to forego filtration and allow the wine to mature in barrels over two winters gives this Pinot Noir additional complexity and depth.<\/p>\n An ideal companion to roasted pheasant<\/strong>, Duck breast with cherry sauce<\/strong> or Mushroom risotto with truffles<\/strong>. Also with medium-flavoured cheeses such as \u00c9poisses<\/strong> or Comt\u00e9<\/strong> an excellent choice.<\/p>\n This wine perfectly embodies Jobard's philosophy of minimal intervention. The use of only 20% new oak barrels and the use of larger Stockinger barrels preserve the purity of the terroir. A Volnay that emphasises elegance over power and has the potential to develop beautifully over the next 8-12 years. An authentic expression of Burgundy that is a worthy continuation of the Jobard family's centuries-old winemaking tradition.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"General information<\/h3>\n
