The Jobard 2006 Meursault Sous la Velle (from just outside Auxey-Duresses) is juicy and bracingly citric, with tart plum, peach kernel, toasted wheat, and a botrytis-like nip of pungent spice adding interest and following into a long, faintly bitter finish. This may we be worth cellaring more than 2-3 years, but I would monitor it for further signs of botrytis that might become awkward. Remi Jobard began harvesting September 25 – two days later than even Francois and Antoine Jobard – yet the two collections are dramatically different. These wines – which display uniformly prominent acidity – came out of barrel (generally 12-15% new) after a year, and were then given six months in tank (whence I tasted them) to permit stabilization and some evolution and, in Jobard’s words, “to preserve aromatic freshness and vivacity.” There are hints of botrytis here and there, but Jobard insists it was at a level of around 5%, in his opinion obviating any need to remove it.
