The northeasterly exposition of this fine Premier Cru always makes a wine with a little more reserve than traditional Meursault, and it is one of the longest keepers in the Jobard range. Surprisingly this year, it would be easy to confuse with a typical Charmes, it was so open and expressive tasting from cask. Strikingly fragrant, with its roasted nut, almond and hazelnut personality. An enticing silky rich volume, with some sweet and sour kumquat and Seville orange characters on the finish. Creamy and long and almost demanding to be drunk immediately!
The 2023 Meursault Poruzots 1er Cru has a more backward bouquet at first, opening with sea cave and almost flinty scents. The palate is vibrant and citrus-fresh with a fine line of acidity and a vibrant saline finish that fans out beautifully. What a superb Meursault from Jobard—highly recommended.
Pale colour with a light green tint. Steely intent in the nose, the apple of the orchard. A citrus note freshens up the finish, excellent backbone with a touch of salinity to finish. In the new look cleaner and finer Jobard style.

Meursault is the first great white wine area that one stumbles upon on leaving Beaune. Unlike other white dominated appellations in Burgundy, Meursault has no grand cru vineyards. It nonetheless has significant flair and power which make up for this deficiency. Indeed, if tasted blind some of these wines could even surpass other Burgundian grand crus. They are no fainting daisies. This may partially be due to Meursault's lower water table which enables the roots to delve deep in the soil picking up many trace minerals and which further stresses the vines. In addition, the cellars are more profound and cooler, enabling long fermentations, which increase complexity and longevity. Some interesting red wines are also made.
