PRODUCER

Francois Jobard

Domaine Francois Jobard is the former name of what became Domaine Francoise et Antoine Jobard, and since 2008 simply Domaine Antoine Jobard. The 15-acre estate has vineyard parcels in Meursault, Meursault-Blagny and Puligny-Montrachet. Founded in the 19th century, this family-run domaine has changed its name slightly from generation to generation to reflect the passage of daily operations from father to son. All the parcels are either Premier Cru or villages. Clive Coates notes that Domaine Antoine Jobard “is one of the great Meursault estates.”
