Since taking control of the domaine in 1996, Rémi has developed a distinctive approach to Chardonnay, emphasizing organic farming, meticulous vineyard work and restrained use of oak. His wines are celebrated for their clarity, mineral precision and ability to express the character of their vineyards without unnecessary embellishment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 Bourgogne Côte d'Or Blanc Vieilles Vignes offers an especially compelling introduction to this philosophy. Sourced from mature Chardonnay vines in the Côte de Beaune, including parcels around Meursault, the wine benefits from the same thoughtful vineyard management that defines Jobard's more prestigious appellations. The estate has been certified organic since 2011, and its cellar philosophy favors gentle handling and maturation in oak vessels that support the wine's natural texture rather than dominate its flavors. The result is a regional Burgundy with the depth and refinement associated with considerably more expensive white wines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2023 vintage delivers an appealing combination of ripe orchard fruit, bright citrus and delicate mineral complexity.

There is a quiet generosity to the wine, but its defining quality is precision. We selected this Chardonnay because it demonstrates why producer and vineyard quality matter so much in Burgundy.
