2021 Antoine Jobard Beaune Premier Cru Les Epenottes

After working alongside his father for several years, Antoine has been officially in charge of this prestigious property since 2007. Although Francois has been enjoying his retirement for several years, he can still be found in the vineyards and cellar almost every day 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 their character. Antoine prefers to work with finer lies than his father. He also bottles the wine in April/May of the second year following the harvest. These are just details, but the quality of the wines has further increased.

Les Epenotes was the first parcel to be awarded premier cru status in Beaune. This plot of land, with vines between 65 and 80 years old, was planted by Antoine's grandfather. Bordering Pommard, this is a more powerfully structured Beaune than many red wines in the appellation. A wine with wild savory notes, the 30% whole bunch pressed fruit boasts aromas of wild alpine fruit and provides extra body and breadth on the palate. Very round tannins and the dark spices in the aftertaste provide a further burst of unctuously sweet ripe fruit. The 2021 vintage is packed with spicy, red and even black fruit aromas. This wine has fantastic vibrancy, with the purity and depth of the fruit leaving a lasting impression on the palate.
