2014 Meursault, Poruzots, 1er Cru, Domaine Antoine Jobard, Burgundy

Description

Fine, clear, pale-straw coloured, this is of course backwards, in classic Jobard fashion; tight and tense with extra flesh emerging towards the back. Another pretty wine, with enough acidity to balance the flesh.

Overall yields were better than Antoine feared in 2014, but some of his vineyards, including those used for his Bourgogne Blanc and Meursault En la Barre as well as part of Poruzots, were particularly badly hit by the hail. He picked from 13th September and has made his usual range of outstanding, ageworthy wines which will not be bottled until next summer. The secret to his style is not clarifying the juice out of the press, and no stirring of the lees.

Critics reviews

Neal Martin 91-93/100
The 2014 Meursault 1er Cru Poruzots really delivers on the nose in terms of definition, intensity and focus. Here, there is real mineralité and tension, a sense of drive that derives from the earth.

The palate is very well balanced with citrus fresh fruit, orange zest and a cheeky touch of passion fruit. There is an exotic side to this Poruzots, tempered with a keen line of acidity and a long persistent finish that fans out beautifully. Great wine!

About this wine

Chardonnay

Chardonnay is often seen as the king of white wine grapes and one of the most widely planted in the world It is suited to a wide variety of soils, though it excels in soils with a high limestone content as found in Champagne, Chablis, and the Côte D`Or. Burgundy is Chardonnay's spiritual home and the best White Burgundies are dry, rich, honeyed wines with marvellous poise, elegance and balance. They are unquestionably the finest dry white wines in the world. Chardonnay plays a crucial role in the Champagne blend, providing structure and finesse, and is the sole grape in Blanc de Blancs.

Domaine Antoine Jobard

This white-wine focused domaine is renowned for its steely, taut Meursault. Antoine joined his father, François, here in 2002. He assumed sole charge in ’07, after his father’s 50th vintage. Initially, any changes were minimal. Now, there’s a clear move towards earlier bottling, with two winters in barrel no longer seen as the yardstick. This is both a stylistic choice and a response to warmer and earlier harvests. All decisions are now taken with a view towards greater flexibility, allowing more or less reduction from barrel age as required.
