Saturday, June 12, 2021 - Wine information
Rémi Jobard's Meursault "Genevrières" comes from the 16.48-hectare Les Genevrières site, of which Jobard owns 0.64 hectares. The vines in the stony but very mineral-rich soil are over 40 years old. Les Genevrières, along with Les Charmes, is considered the best site next to Les Perrières. All three sites could easily pass for Grand Cru, especially the upper parts of the sites, the so-called dessus.

The Meursault "Genevrières" 1er Cru is vinified at Rémi Jobard with the same precision as all his wines. This also means that after spontaneous fermentation, the wine sits on its lees for almost two years, in Stockinger barrels and tonneaux.

light to medium straw yellow

Nose
Actually, Rémi Jobard's 2019 Meursault "Genevrières" 1er Cru should also have the name "Charmes" in its title, so charming does it appear from the first moment. However, it quickly becomes obvious that it also carries a fair amount of energy and freshness. It seems immensely lively and inviting what the Genevrières offers here: a spring meadow with herbs and flowers, hints of hazelnut and walnut, Meyer lemons and not quite ripe vineyard peaches, some green pineapple and lots of stone.

Palate
On the palate, the Genevrières appears sinewy and very tense. The wine is still at the very beginning of its development. But what it already shows is fun and makes for excellent drinking pleasure. Of course, this is not least due to Jobard's very precise and restrained use of wood and the fact that he avoids all fat, which a Meursault can have. And so the wine offers a lot of substance and also a ripe fruit, but it always remains crisp. What is much more prominent here is the wine's extract, its inner tension and density, the electrifying things that the old vines bring out of the barren stony soil, the salinity and the grippy texture of this 1er Cru. In addition, there is an elegant creaminess that will certainly increase with time, but even now provides a fine nobility.
