Domaine Rémi Jobard is a small family domaine in Meursault making clear, mineral white Burgundy from organically farmed vineyards. The range here includes Bourgogne Côte d'Or Vieilles Vignes and village Meursault from Les Chevalières and En Luraule.
Domaine Rémi Jobard: a Meursault family
The Jobard family has grown vines in Meursault for generations. Rémi Jobard took over the domaine from his father, Charles Jobard, in the 1990s and has since shaped it into a house with a clear style of its own. The domaine farms around nine hectares, mostly Chardonnay in Meursault, with a little Aligoté and Pinot Noir from the neighbouring villages of Volnay and Monthélie.
Rémi is the cousin of Antoine Jobard, who runs the other branch of the family in the same village. Rémi's father Charles and Antoine's father François were brothers, but the two domaines have been entirely separate for decades, with their own vineyards, their own cellars and their own style.
Organic Meursault with a focus on purity
The vineyards are farmed organically and have been certified since 2011. In the cellar Rémi Jobard intervenes as little as possible and keeps new oak in check, so that fruit and limestone come first. The result is Chardonnay with tension and precision rather than weight and butter.
Beyond the village wines the domaine makes premiers crus from Les Charmes, Les Genevrières and Le Poruzot-Dessus, and several wines also come in an élevage prolongé version. These spend longer in barrel and on their lees before bottling, which adds depth and texture without losing freshness.
Rémi Jobard Meursault and Bourgogne Blanc
The heart of the range is the single sites of Meursault. Les Chevalières and En Luraule show two different sides of the village, from limestone-driven tension to rounder fruit, and tasting them side by side is a good way to understand how much site matters in Meursault.
The Bourgogne Côte d'Or Vieilles Vignes comes from older vines and is the classic way into the house style: pure, fresh Chardonnay with the same precision as the village wines, at an age when it is already open and ready to drink.
