Antoine has decided to blend together all his Meursault lieux dits in a change from previous practice. The 2020 comprises 40% En la Barre 20% Tillets and the result comes from his previous Meursault blend and the recently purchased Meix Tavaux. Clear pure lemon and lime, with a touch of reduction. Definite austerity here but with fruit volume behind. In fact, there is a wonderful concentration of pure lime infused fruit, with a steely backbone. Very fine long aftertaste. Love it! Very long indeed. Tasted: 11/1/2021.—Jasper Morris, Inside Burgundy

Wafting from the glass with aromas of orange oil, pear, white flowers and nutmeg, the 2020 Meursault Village is medium to full-bodied, satiny and concentrated, with a broad, textural profile and a long, saline finish. As usual, it's derived from old vines in climat Les Pelles.—William Kelley, The Wine Advocate

The 2020 Meursault Village was taken from various barrels to respect the final blend and comprises: En la Barre, Tillets, Meix Tavaux, Les Corbins, Sous La Velle, Les Chaumes and Le Pré de Manche. It has a very refined bouquet, beautifully delineated with a slight touch of oyster shell. The palate is very well balanced with fine acidity, a slight honeyed texture but there is sufficient tension to keep this fresh and vital. Touches of pear and stem ginger on the aftertaste. This is excellent - a blend that really works and a brave and wise decision by Jobard. Neal Martin, Vinous Media


Note: from Sous La Velle, Les Corbins, Les Chaumes de Narvaux and Clos le Meix Tavaux
Tasting note: A very Meursault nose features excellent freshness to the aromas of hazelnut, white peach, acacia blossom and subtle spice wisps. There is both fine volume and punch to the seductively textured medium-bodied flavors that exude a subtle minerality on the solidly long finale. This too could use a bit better depth, but more should develop with a few years of bottle aging. Lovely and excellent quality. Outstanding. –Allen Meadows, Burghound
