Reviews:

• Allen Meadows: A completely different character and personality from the Poruzots as there is an opulent spice and a Thai ginger and lime component with medium weight, pure, sexy flavors blessed with beautiful acid/fruit balance.

• Wine Cellar: Musky, pure aromas of lime, ginger and powdered stone. Big, chewy and full, with citrus flavors nicely shaped by sound acids.

Producer Information

Rmi Jobard is the dynamic son of Charles Jobard and nephew to Francois Jobard. Growing up and learning form these legendary brothers inspired Rmi to follow in his fathers footsteps and eventually take the helm at this remarkable domaine. As is normally the case in Burgundy, with a famous last name comes an enviable assortment of vineyards. When Rmi took full control in 1996, he found himself presiding over Meursault and Puligny based Bourgogne Blancs, 4 high altitude Meursault lieu dits, and 3 of the best situated parcels of 1er crus.Since 1994, the domaine has not used any herbicides or pesticides. After Rmi took over, he decided to take the quality of farming to the next level, converting to organics and eventually getting certification in 2011. All of Rmis wines show a breathtaking clarity of terroir, which come from the impeccable farming and a simple hands-off approach in the cellar; all of the wines are aged in a mixture of barrique and large older foudre. When asked about his approach Rmi says, We are very privileged to have great terroir in Meursault. Everything I do in the vineyard and in my cellar is to make sure that terroir is transparent and completely unobscured. Tasting through the lineup is a true masterclass of Meursault a sensual tour of rock and vine.
