Domaine Remi Jobard : Meursault 1er cru "Les Genevrières" 2024

Characteristics and Tasting Tips for the Meursault 1er Cru "Les Genevrières" 2024 from Domaine Rémi Jobard

Tasting notes

Colour

This Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières 2024 shows a crystalline pale straw-yellow colour, highlighted by green reflections. This luminous clarity reflects a precise vinification and a particularly gentle pressing, which preserved all the purity of the must.

Nose

The nose is cool, deep and energetic, revealing notes of fresh fruit combined with subtle hints of juniper. Wet stone comes through distinctly, reflecting the pronounced minerality of the terroir, while a very discreet, almost imperceptible touch of oak completes the whole without ever dominating the aromatic profile.

Palate

The palate is dense and taut, driven by focused minerality and a fine acidity that structures the whole. The texture, melting and enveloping, betrays no heaviness, with the oak remaining entirely in the background. The finish, long and discreet, stretches out with a saline persistence that invites a thoughtful tasting of this still young wine.

Food and wine pairings

This Meursault 1er Cru Les Genevrières 2024 pairs ideally with noble fish and high-quality poultry. It will particularly complement truffled poultry, roasted shellfish or salt-crusted fish served with a beurre blanc scented with citrus. Refined vegetarian dishes, such as a white asparagus risotto or a vegetable purée finished with shavings of mature cheese, also offer it an interesting setting in which to express itself, as do mature mountain cheeses.

Serving and cellaring

We recommend serving this Meursault 1er Cru "Les Genevrières" 2024 at a temperature between 12 and 13°C. Still young, this wine may benefit from prior decanting to fully reveal its aromatic bouquet.

The Refinement and Structure of a Meursault Wine

The estate

The Domaine Rémi Jobard is a family estate based in Meursault, in Burgundy, whose history goes back several generations. Under the leadership of Rémi Jobard, who now heads the estate, the management of the vineyard has gradually shifted towards a viticulture that is highly respectful of the environment, with controlled yields and a winemaking approach based on patience and the pursuit of purity. The estate, modest in size, is now recognised as a benchmark address in the Meursault appellation.

The vineyard

The Climat Les Genevrières lies to the south of the village of Meursault, between the Premiers Crus Charmes and Perrières, on southeast-facing slopes. The soils, made up of stony limestone marl, poor and shallow, naturally limit the vigour of the vines and encourage deep rooting. The mature vines are farmed in an environmentally respectful way, without chemical fertilisers or weedkillers, with the soil worked by hand.

Vinification and ageing

The production of the Meursault 1er Cru "Les Genevrières" 2024 relies on hand-harvested grapes and a long, gentle pressing lasting several hours, in order to preserve the purity of the must. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts, followed by extended ageing in large wooden vessels, complemented by a resting period in stainless steel tank. Bottling is carried out without filtration, with a minimal addition of sulphur, in keeping with a minimal-intervention approach.

Grape variety
