Antoine Jobard has taken the decision in recent vintages to rationalise his Meursault village into a single cuvée because “the wine is simply better that way”. So En La Barre, located just behind the cellar (and abutting Lafon’s Clos de la Barre), now forms the heart of this cuvée. Together, in fact, the two brilliant sites of En la Barre and Les Tillets now account for around 50% of the blend, alongside Meix Tavaux, Les Corbins, Sous La Velle, Les Chaumes de Narvaux and Le Pré de Manche. Across the parcels, vine age varies from 16 to 50 years. More than ever, then, Jobard’s Meursault represents one of this village’s benchmark bottlings. The 2021 is a stunning example: textured, creamy and super classy.
