Domaine Antoine Jobard
In the heart of the Côte de Beaune’s celebrated white wine country, Domaine Antoine Jobard stands as a quietly distinguished interpreter of Meursault’s rich, limestone-inflected terroirs. The estate traces its roots to a lineage of Burgundian growers, and today Antoine Jobard presides over a focused range of vineyards that express both the vineyard’s history and his own refined, understated winemaking philosophy.
Located in Meursault, a village synonymous with some of the most textured and harmonious Chardonnay in the world, Domaine Jobard’s holdings include parcels that vary in soil composition and exposition — from heavier clay-limestone flats that yield generous, orchard-driven wines, to chalkier slopes that confer lifted acidity and mineral nuance. Across all sites, careful vineyard work — including reduced yields, precise canopy management, and respect for natural rhythms — underpins wines of balance, focus, and authentic sense of place.
In the cellar, Antoine’s approach is thoughtful and restrained. Fermentations are usually carried out with a gentle hand, often with native yeasts, and élevage is designed to build nuance rather than overt weight. Barrel ageing — judicious and well-integrated — supports texture and complexity while allowing the purity of fruit to remain central. The result is Meursault that feels at once generous and elegant: layered scents of citrus blossom, pear and honeyed orchard fruit, underpinned by fine mineral streaks and a seamless thread of acidity.
Domaine Antoine Jobard’s wines are compelling for their balance and clarity; they never feel forced, but rather articulate the nuances of their origin with composure and depth. Whether enjoyed in their youth for their vibrancy, or allowed to mature slowly in bottle, these wines reward attention and embody a Burgundy style that is both expressive and nuanced.
Domaine Antoine Jobard represents the enduring alliance of site and skill — a producer whose wines resonate with Burgundian tradition while speaking with a fresh, defined voice.
