Domaine Jobard-Morey

Based in Meursault, Domaine Valentin Jobard (Morey) represents the continuation of a revered Burgundian lineage through a distinctly personal and contemporary lens. Valentin Jobard, nephew of the legendary François Jobard, has forged his own path with a domaine that emphasises purity, precision, and an uncompromising respect for terroir, while remaining deeply anchored in Meursault’s historic viticultural identity.

The estate’s vineyards are situated on some of Meursault’s most expressive limestone and clay-limestone soils, where Chardonnay achieves both generosity and tension. Valentin Jobard’s approach in the vineyard is exacting and thoughtful: yields are kept deliberately low, soils are worked to encourage deep root systems, and harvest timing prioritises balance over ripeness. This meticulous viticulture is the foundation of wines that feel energetic, transparent, and finely structured.

In the cellar, the philosophy is one of restraint and clarity. Fermentations are conducted with minimal intervention, often using indigenous yeasts, and élevage is carefully calibrated — typically in barrels that support texture without masking site expression. Oak is used judiciously, allowing the natural salinity, mineral backbone, and layered aromatics of Meursault to remain central. The wines develop slowly, revealing citrus zest, white flowers, stone fruit, and a persistent chalky finish.

What distinguishes Domaine Valentin Jobard is the precision of its wines: Meursaults that are neither opulent nor austere, but instead finely poised, articulate, and deeply reflective of their origins. They reward both early appreciation and patient cellaring, gaining complexity while retaining freshness and definition.

Today, Domaine Valentin Jobard stands as a reference for modern Meursault — a producer whose wines honour tradition while expressing a refined, contemporary sensibility, perfectly suited to gastronomy and serious collectors alike.
