Domaine Rémi Jobard and the style of modern Meursault

Domaine Rémi Jobard is known in Meursault for a style that is clear, pure, and extremely precise. While some producers opt for a richer approach, Jobard deliberately works with a restrained hand in both vineyard and cellar. The wines display impressive tension and minerality, while fully preserving the typical Meursault structure. Under the Winery tab, you'll find more information about the estate, the historical family lineage, and the methods that give these wines their character.

Les Chevalières is one of Meursault's higher-lying terroirs and produces wines that are typically tighter, finer, and more focused. In the hands of Rémi Jobard, this plot acquires a distinct precision and aromatic purity that makes this 2022 vintage truly stand out.

The terroir of Meursault Les Chevalières

Les Chevalières is located north of the village, above Les Narvaux, on a slope with a thin layer of limestone soil that warms quickly and drains exceptionally well. This terroir is known for wines with a combination of tension, finesse, and mineral length. The vines must root deeply to access nutrients, resulting in small, concentrated grapes with refined aromas.

Chevalières isn't a Premier Cru, but experts regularly cite it as one of Meursault's finest village parcels. Its location, stony subsoil, and the coolness of the higher slopes create an almost Puligny-like purity, while the typical Meursault character remains clearly evident.

The 2022 harvest year in Meursault

2022 was a warm, dry year in which the grapes were exceptionally healthy. Despite the high temperatures, the acidity was surprisingly well-preserved, thanks to cool nights and limited water stress in the higher-elevation plots. The wines from this year combine ripe fruit with a lively tension, making them both accessible and structured.

For Meursault, the 2022 vintage offered delightful aromatic intensity, softer textures, and a beautiful balance between roundness and freshness. Les Chevalières benefits further from its higher altitude, giving the wine remarkable clarity and refinement.

Vinification and maturation by Rémi Jobard

Rémi Jobard operates entirely organically and employs a classic yet meticulous winemaking style. The grapes are pressed slowly and gently to preserve delicate aromas. Fermentation takes place in large foudres, a key characteristic of the Jobard style. The use of these large barrels ensures that the wood never dominates, maintaining a light and transparent texture.

The wine is aged for approximately fifteen months on the lees, without heavy bâtonnage. This gives the wine subtle roundness, while maintaining its taut structure and tension. The result is a Meursault that is elegant, without excessive creaminess, and that perfectly reflects the character of Les Chevalières.

Color, aroma and taste of the 2022 Meursault Les Chevalières

The color is bright light yellow with green highlights. The aroma opens with lemon, ripe pear, and white blossom. After a few minutes, subtle spice emerges, followed by notes of wet stone, almond, and a light smokiness typical of this chalky terroir.

On the palate, the wine displays remarkable tension. The attack is fresh and precise, after which an elegant creaminess unfolds in the mid-palate. The acidity is lively and contributes to a taut, mineral appearance. Stone fruit, citrus, and floral notes combine to create a refined and pure whole.

The finish is long and chalky, with notes of lemon peel, chalk, and a subtle nutty touch. The style is clear, focused, and energetic, with enough depth to allow the wine to age for several years.

Storage potential

This Meursault Les Chevalières is already approachable, but will gain further complexity over the next five to eight years. Its fresh structure supports a beautiful evolution, with more brioche, hazelnut, and riper stone fruit emerging. The wine's remarkable tension ensures it will remain elegant and balanced as it ages.
