2020 Antoine Jobard Puligny-Montrachet Le Trézin

Some of the world's finest white wines are produced in Puligny-Montrachet. The most famous and probably the best of them all comes from the Le Montrachet field. Puligny-Montrachet is a village located in the Côte de Beaune region of the Côte-d'Or. The region is best known for producing white wines from the Chardonnay grape, although some Pinot Noir is grown (only two hectares) and relatively hard to find. Like other neighboring villages in search of fame (and of course fortune), in 1879 Puligny added its name to the famous Grand Cru vineyard, "Montrachet".

There are 17 Premier Cru vineyards and four Grand Cru vineyards in Puligny-Montrachet. The white wines from this area are powerful with flavors of golden apple, butter and toast If you manage to age these wines - some can be kept for 10 years or more - is that you have to fight the urge to uncork and open the bottle. savor the opulence of some of Chardonnay's dazzling expressions.

After working alongside his father for several years, Antoine has been in charge of this prestigious property since 2007. Although Francois has been enjoying his retirement for several years, he can still be found almost daily in the vineyards and cellar to assist his son. With the arrival of Antoine, the style of the wines has changed slightly. A few minor changes during winemaking have made them more accessible and refined, without losing character. Antoine prefers to work with finer lies than his father. Furthermore, he bottles the wine in April/May of the second year following the harvest. These are just details, but the quality of the wines has increased further as a result.

The Antoine Jobard Puligny-Montrachet le Trezin has a pronounced clarity on the nose: fresh lime and Granny Smith apples and a little lime/mineral. After some rolling we smell aromas of peach, white flowers, freshly baked bread and hazelnuts in this beautiful Jobard Puligny-Montrachet Le Trézin. The wine is medium-bodied, satiny and charming with bright acidity and a generous core of fruit unifying.
