2022 Rémi Jobard Meursault 1er Cru Le Poruzot-Dessus

The 2022 Rémi Jobard Meursault 1er Cru Le Poruzot-Dessus is a precise, mineral-driven expression of top-tier Meursault from one of the commune’s most respected vignerons. Sourced from the upper, prime section of the Poruzots vineyard, this premier cru marries intensity and finesse in a way that will appeal to serious Burgundy lovers. The 2022 vintage, noted for its concentration and purity, showcases the Chardonnays of Meursault at their most vibrant and detailed.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Meursault 1er Cru shows a luminous pale gold color with green highlights, hinting at freshness and youth. The nose opens with layered aromas of lemon zest, white peach and orchard fruits, interwoven with notes of crushed rock, hazelnut, almond, and a subtle touch of flint and toasted brioche. With air, more complex hints of floral blossom, fresh butter and a faint salinity emerge. On the palate, the wine is both taut and generous: a core of ripe citrus and stone fruit is framed by a firm, stony backbone and vibrant acidity. The texture is silky yet structured, with beautifully integrated oak that supports rather than dominates, bringing nuances of spice and discreet toast. The finish is long, linear and saline, leaving a lingering impression of citrus peel, chalk and roasted nuts. While already approachable in its youth for those who enjoy energy and tension, this 2022 has clear aging potential of 8–12 years, gaining more complexity, creaminess and nutty depth with time in bottle.

Production
Le Poruzot-Dessus is situated on the superior upper slope of the Poruzots climat in Meursault, where well-drained, limestone-rich soils and a cooler exposition naturally favor tension, minerality and aromatic precision in Chardonnay. Rémi Jobard is known for meticulous vineyard work, favoring low yields and careful, often organic-leaning practices to ensure healthy, concentrated fruit at harvest. Grapes are typically hand-picked at optimal ripeness to preserve both freshness and complexity, then gently pressed and fermented with indigenous yeasts. Élevage takes place in carefully selected barrels—often with a restrained proportion of new oak—to respect the character of the terroir, followed by extended aging on fine lees to build texture, depth and finesse before bottling.

Food & Serving
This Meursault 1er Cru is a natural partner for refined dishes: think butter-poached lobster, seared scallops, turbot or sole with beurre blanc, roast chicken with morel cream, or veal in light jus. It also pairs beautifully with rich shellfish pastas, truffled poultry, and aged, firm cheeses such as Comté or Gruyère. Serve at 10–12°C (50–54°F) to reveal the wine’s aromatic range without muting its freshness. Decanting for 30–60 minutes in its youth can help open up the nose and soften the structure; mature bottles should be handled gently and may be served straight from the bottle after a brief rest.
