In Puligny, Domaine Jomain is located directly next to hotel Le Montrachet. I walked past it many times last week, wondering why I had never tasted any of its wines. The basic model is quite alright: a solid, no-frills white Burgundy, with good freshness and fruit.
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Chassagne-Montrachet
Fresh but ripe, harmonious acidity, classical style, barely visible oak provides warmth, flowers and orchard fruit, nice ampleur, intense creamy lemon, seductive texture, atractive salty note, good flavours and length, with just a hint of back-end heat. On its plateau of maturity, drink now - 2022.
Tight and fresh style, almond bitters, needs time in the glass to open up, lovely nuance and precision, ripe orange, blueberries, hint of forest floor, cool minerality, not generous but energetic, good length.
A blend of 60% Corvina and 35% other varieties, including Rondinella and Corvinone. Aged for 30 months in 500 / 2500 liter oak barrels. Not enthusiastic about this. It feels dry and tough and lacks fruit and charm. It’s a if the extended oak ageing sucked the life out of this wine. I sympathise with Boirebio’s note below.
