Elegant wine. The Meursault Les Charmes is adorned with a clear lemon yellow color with silver reflections.

Reviews:

• Allen Meadows: Airy and elegant aromas freely offer up their nuances of exotic tea, spice and essence of white peach. The elegance continues onto the refined, pure and energetic middle weight flavors that exude evident minerality on the balanced and harmonious finish that displays excellent length.

• Vinous: The 2020 Meursault Charmes 1er Cru has a complex bouquet, traces of honeysuckle, orchard fruit, hints of meadow gently unfurling on the nose. The palate is beautifully balances with real intensitiy and drive. Saline in the mouth, this fans out with confidence on the finish.

Producer Information

Domaine Rmi Jobard is a wine producer based in the town of Meursault in the Cte de Beaune subregion of Burgundy. The domaine’s production is predominantly geared towards the ubiquitous local variety, Chardonnay, producing a number of labels from the grape across a range of quality levels, including Meursault village and premier cru. A small volume of red wines from the neighboring appellations of Monthlie and Volnay are also made. The estate was established by the eponymous Rmi (nephew of Franois Jobard) in Meursault in the mid-1990s. His first vinification, alongside father Charles, was in 1992, with the two working together until Charles’ retirement (and Rmi’s takeover) in 1996. Holdings include over two and a half hectares of Meursault villages-level sites (Sous La Velle, Chevalires, Narvaux and En Luraule), often bottled with their lieu-dit on the label. Jobard also has plots in the premier crus Charmes (0.2 hectares/0.5 acres), Genevrires (0.5 hectares/1.2 acres) and Poruzots (0.5 hectares/1.2 acres in Poruzots Dessus). These are all in Meursault although the domaine grows and produces Pinot Noir from Volnay Santenots and Vignes Rondes and Champs Fulliot in Monthlie. All vineyards have been organically certified since 2011. Jobard’s winemaking is characterised by long and gentle pressing of his Chardonnay which is then fermented and matured in a range of large-format oak barrels for 12 months before blending and settling in tank for an additional six months. Red wines are fully destemmed and aged in oak, of which around one third is new barrels.
