RATINGS

95James Suckling

The stunning wild-blackberry nose pulls you into this medium-to full-bodied Pommard that's brimming with fruit and has a stack of fine tannins.

93+ The Wine Advocate

...aromas of wild berries, violets, sweet spices, loamy soil and roses...medium to full-bodied, layered and multidimensional, with a concentrated core of fruit that's framed by rich, powdery tannins and lively acids.

91-93Vinous / IWC

...very pure bouquet with plenty of brambly red fruit, sous-bois and light touches of blood orange. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruit, fine acidity, taut and fresh with a nicely proportioned, quite sapid finish.

PRODUCER

Antoine Jobard

Domaine Antoine Jobard is a 15-acre estate in Meursault, Burgundy. Burgundy expert Clive Coates has called it “one of the great Meursault estates.” And Robert M. Parker Jr. notes that the estate “has long been known for crafting clear, complex, age-worthy Meursault.” Francois Jobard still works in the operation but the name on the bottles now is that of his son, Antoine. Known for their Meursault, they also have parcels in Puligny-Montrachet. About 3,000 cases are produced annually.

REGION

France, Burgundy, Côte d'Or, Côte de Beaune, Pommard, Les Epenots

Les Epenots, also known as Les Petits Epenots, is a 38-acre Premier Cru vineyard in Pommard, in Burgundy’s Cote de Beaune. It is in the central part of the Pommard appellation, to the east of the village. There is a gentle slope to the vineyards in this part of Pommard, and the Burgundy expert Clive Coates notes that “the presence of pebbles in the soil ensures good drainage and contributes to the considerable elegance which you find in a good Epenots…” Because Pommard has no Grand Crus, its Premier Crus are especially noteworthy. Pommard is an appellation of red wine only.

TYPE

Red Wine, Pinot Noir, 1er (Premier) Cru

This red wine is relatively light and can pair with a wide variety of foods. The grape prefers cooler climates and the wine is most often associated with Burgundy, Champagne and the U.S. west coast. Regional differences make it nearly as fickle as it is flexible.
