  Medium golden yellow.
  
  Strongly reductive. Scents of roasted hazelnut, acacia flower. Pure and elegant fruit of yellow peach and nectarine. Maybe a touch of guava (almost a signature of 2020 White Burg). Grapefruit acidity and pithy bitterness. Strong mineral character and texture. Citrusy long finish.
  
  It's so tightly wound-up right now that it's hard to assess. Still, I sense inner tension and potential intensity underneath the massive reduction. I would love to revisit in several years.

  Pale straw. Ooh yes, this is lovely, a hypothetical blend of the reductive, mineral new style of Meursault and the richness and buttery nuttiness of the old; a combination that works very well here. Nicely reductive on the nose, enhancing rather than overpowering, lightly toasted hazelnut and a hint of beurre noisstte on the palate with a minerally, quite grippy and somewhat lime-tinged finish. Really very good for villages, weight, complexity and length. ****

  Just try this blind with Meursault Coche Dury and Roulot side by side. This is reduction refinement on minerally inflected steroids.

  Reductive style of Meursault. Really good though with some ripe apples, flint, matchstick, popcorn and good acidity. Nice length. Quite impressive for a village but definitely too young.

  An excellent village level Meursault, an impressive blend of all Jobard’s lieu-dits. Medium golden colour. Intense fragrant and complex aroma of buttery ripe apples, pastry cream, peaches, acacia, flints, touch of matchstick and oyster shell. Medium+ body, vibrant and taut but also elegant and silky. Pleasantly austere, fresh, saline and fragrant, concentrated mineral flinty and stony flavours, apple, floral notes, reductive hints, well integrated focused high acidity.
