Domaine Antoine Jobard Beaune 1er Cru Les Montrevenots 2023

Domaine Antoine Jobard Beaune 1er Cru Les Montrevenots is a tiny cuvée from a high, cold, late-ripening site on the Pommard boundary.

Montrevenots sits at the top of the hill above Clos des Mouches, where the Beaune Premier Crus meet Pommard. It is high, rocky and cold, and ripens late, though its south-facing aspect offsets the altitude to a degree. The white clay and limestone soils here tend to give bright red fruit, racy acidity and a fine, powdery structure rather than weight. Jobard's parcel, historically known as the Clos des Montrevenots, runs to 1.4 hectares, but only a small part of it produced this wine: he is replanting most of the site with mass-selection cuttings, including some Chardonnay, so the cuvée is very small at present. The vines used are forty-five years old. All the bunches were destemmed and given a week-long cold soak before fermentation, and the wine saw very little new oak before bottling after twelve months on lees.

Drink from two or three years and over the following decade, with roast poultry, veal or grilled mushrooms. Serve at 16-18°C.
