2022 Domaine Rémi Jobard Meursault AC Les Narvaux

Domaine Rémi Jobard: pure expression of Meursault

Domaine Rémi Jobard, located in the heart of Meursault, is among the producers reviving the region's classic style. Rémi Jobard took over the family business from his father and is now fully certified organic. His focus is on low yields, natural fermentation, and minimal intervention in the cellar. This results in wines that combine tension, depth, and terroir expression. His style is recognizable by the subtle oak notes, refined acidity, and pronounced minerality—precisely what makes Meursault great.

The vineyard Les Narvaux

Les Narvaux is situated just above the Premier Cru vineyards of Meursault, on a chalky, stony slope facing east. This position ensures optimal sunshine and natural drainage. The vines are on average 60 to 70 years old, contributing to the concentration and complexity of the fruit. The combination of altitude, poor soil, and old vines produces a wine that effortlessly combines refinement and power. Les Narvaux is often considered one of the finest lieux-dits in Meursault, approaching Premier Cru status.

Vinification and style

The 2022 Les Narvaux is made entirely from Chardonnay and vinified with meticulous attention to detail. After a gentle pressing, fermentation follows with natural yeasts. The wine is aged partly in oak barriques (approximately 20% new wood) and partly in large, old foudres, followed by several months in stainless steel tanks. This approach creates a balance between freshness and complexity. The result is a wine with pure fruit expression, subtle oak integration, and a long, mineral finish.

Tasting note

The 2022 Meursault Les Narvaux has a bright, light gold color. The nose opens with aromas of white flowers, citrus, pear, and almond, followed by a mineral note that adds freshness and tension. On the palate, the wine is refined and energetic, with ripe fruit notes of apple and peach, perfectly balanced by lively acidity. The structure is elegant and slightly creamy, while the finish is long, salty, and precise. The wine has the typical roundness of a Meursault, but with the straightforward freshness characteristic of the Les Narvaux terroir.

Character of the 2022 vintage

The 2022 vintage in Burgundy produced wines with remarkable balance and ripe aromatic expression. Despite the warm summer, Rémi Jobard's wines retain exceptional freshness thanks to early harvest dates and careful vinification. This Meursault reveals the charm of the vintage with its open, fruity character, yet remains true to the precision and minerality that distinguish its wines. It is a vintage that is already accessible, but will develop even more depth with a few years of bottle aging.
