Antoine Jobard, Pinot Noir, Bourgogne Rouge, Côte de Beaune, France 2023

Don’t be scared to open this bottle in its youth. It is soft and velvety, with a lively brightness that hits at the tip of the tongue.

Antoine Jobard's Bourgone Rouge is a Pinot Noir blend of four lieux-dits in Pommard: L’Aumônne, Taupe Maison Dieu, En la Taupe and Les Crenilles. Winemaking is entirely organic. The wine ages for 12 months in barrel, only 20% of which are new.

Antoine Jobard's is as classy and as consistent a property as you’ll find in Burgundy, and theirs are generally counted among the best Meursaults. Other respected vignerons like Coche and Raveneau hold these wines in the highest esteem and are generous with their praise when Jobard comes up in conversation.
