Antoine Jobard Pommard Rouge 2021

Tasting Notes

This is a newer release from Antoine Jobard . The lion’s share of the fruit is drawn from a site known as Les Petits Noizons, where the vines are exposed southeast on the hill above the 1er Cru line. Meanwhile, the evocatively named Rue au Porc climat sits below the village abutting the D974. Across the holdings (which are not large) the average age of vines is around 50 years.

Tasting with Antoine, it was already clear that he has the same touch with red wine as he does with white. Jobard’s harvest regime and vinification are geared towards brightness, perfume and digestibility—“It’s the kind of Burgundy I want to enjoy and to drink,” says Antoine. Grapes are 100% destemmed and naturally fermented, with roughly 10 days on skins. The wine is raised for 12 months in barrel, only 20% of which are new. - Importer Note
