Domaine Rémi Jobard
Bourgogne Blanc, 2023
Burgundy, France

3oz - $12 5oz - $20 Bottle - $84
*should be priced much higher

Rémi Jobard is the dynamic son of Charles Jobard and nephew to Francois Jobard. Growing up and learning from these legendary brothers inspired Rémi to follow in his father’s footsteps and eventually take the helm at this remarkable Domaine. As is normally the case in Burgundy, with a famous last name comes an enviable assortment of vineyards. When Rémi took full control in 1996, he found himself presiding over Meursault and Puligny based Bourgogne Blancs, 4 high altitude Meursault lieu dits, and 3 of the best situated parcels of 1er crus.

Since 1994, the Domaine has not used any herbicides or pesticides. After Rémi took over, he decided to take the quality of farming to the next level, converting to organics and eventually getting certification in 2011. All of Rémi’s wines show a breathtaking clarity of terroir, which comesfrom the impeccable farming and a simple hands-off approach in the cellar; all of the wines are aged in a mixture of barrique and large older foudre. When asked about his approach, Rémi says, “We are very privileged to have great terroir in Meursault. Everything I do in the vineyard and in my cellar is to make sure that terroir is transparent and completely unobscured.”

This 100% Chardonnay Bourgogne Blanc is sourced from old vines (40+ years) in parcels located below the village of Meursault. The farming is certified Organic and the producers use indigenous yeast fermentation. Aging takes place in new (15%) and older barrels (barrique) and large foudres, with the final six months in stainless steel for brightness. Expect bright citrus (lemon), green apple, stone fruit (peach), white flowers, subtle honey, and a distinct mineral finish. Medium-bodied, creamy, dry, with good acidity and a focus on terroir clarity, balancing richness and restraint.

Les Petits Lieux
Bourgogne Aligote, 2023
Burgundy, France

3oz - $12 5oz - $20 Bottle - $80

The Les Petits Lieux is seemingly an unpretentious name, meaning “The Small Places” but there is some big pedigree here, with Guillaume Rouget, grandnephew of the legendary Henri Jayer, who passed in 2006, and his wife Laure Guilloteau have now established a new Domaine in the family’s old buildings creating Les Petits Lieux, and though this new estate has no own vineyards yet, there’s a ton of potential here.

Domaine Henri Jayer is like the holy grail for Burgundy enthusiasts, especially his iconic Cros Parantoux, and he made some of the regions greatest wines until he gradually resigned from winemaking in the late 1990s, producing the last vintage in 2001, before turning much of his holding and vineyards to Emmanuel Rouget, who today makes the wines together with his son Guillaume Rouget. Guillaume Rouget, along with his wife and oenologist Laure Guilloteau, debuted their new wines with this 2023 vintage.

The Jayer and Rouget labels featured almost exclusively Pinot Noir, but Les Petits Lieux includes white wines such as this Aligoté, and Saint-Romain Blanc (Chardonnay) that will play a bigger role later. Stylistically, the Rouget’s are focused on their own signature at Les Petits Lieux.

Mainly from around the Meursault area. A lovely and fresh Aligote. This is all about tension, tension, tension. Citrus peel. Crushed stone. Saline snap. Acid that hums down the spine. This isn’t Chardonnay cosplay. This is real Aligoté—lean, linear, precise, almost feral. Vosne lineage, zero fluff, all nerve. Aligoté is on a roll right now, and I highly recommend discovering this “Other” White Burgundy grape sooner versus later!
