Meursault En Luraule is a village vineyard regularly cited by sommeliers as one of the finest lieux-dits in the village. Its location directly below the Premier Cru Les Charmes gives the wine a certain breadth, while the chalky soil creates tension and elegance. In Jobard's hands, this plot develops a remarkable aromatic finesse.

The terroir of En Luraule

Luraule lies south of the village of Meursault, on a gently sloping site with limestone and fine clay. The soil is well-draining and warms quickly, allowing the grapes to ripen early and develop rich, expressive aromas. At the same time, the mineral subsoil gives the wine tension, creating an attractive balance.

This terroir is known for its floral notes and refined citrus structure. The combination of ripe stone fruit and mineral precision makes En Luraule one of Meursault's most elegant village wines, with a subtlety approaching Premier Cru level.

The 2022 harvest year in Meursault

The 2022 vintage was characterized by heat and dryness, but also by cool nights that preserved the acidity. The grapes reached perfect ripeness without being overdone, resulting in wines that are both aromatically rich and refined. For Meursault, this meant a year in which fruit, tension, and texture unite in a remarkably harmonious way.

And in 2022, Luraule benefited from its well-drained soil, giving the wine a beautiful natural concentration. The freshness of the terroir perfectly balances this intensity. The result is an energetic, refined Meursault with an open aromatic profile.

Vinification and maturation by Rémi Jobard

Jobard's vinification process focuses entirely on purity and detail. The Chardonnay is pressed slowly and carefully, after which fermentation takes place with natural yeasts in large oak foudres. The use of these larger barrels preserves the subtle wood influence and enhances the aromatic precision.

The wine is aged for approximately fifteen months on the lees, with minimal bâtonnage. This creates a subtle creaminess while preserving tension and minerality. The combination of soft texture and lively structure makes this En Luraule a particularly expressive wine.

Color, smell and taste of the 2022 Meursault En Luraule

The wine displays a bright, light gold color with vibrant green nuances. The aroma opens with yellow apple, pear, and citrus, followed by blossom, almond, and a subtle hint of wet stone. The wine has an elegant floral expression typical of this plot.

The palate immediately reveals its precision. The attack is lively and tight, after which a delicate creaminess builds without becoming heavy. Citrus fruit, white peach, and subtle spice combine in a beautifully layered mid-palate. The mineral tension provides structure and ensures a remarkably long and clean finish.

The finish is elegant, chalky, and fresh, with notes of lemon peel, hazelnut, and a soft salty note. The wine showcases Jobard's mastery of balancing texture, tension, and aromatic finesse.
