Meursault Genevrieres Antoine Jobard 2009

Antoine Jobard Meursault Genevrières 2009 is a medium to full-bodied Burgundy white wine from the Premier Cru climat of Genevrières in the Meursault appellation of the Côte de Beaune. Antoine Jobard joined his father François at the family’s domaine in 2002, assuming full responsibility after his father`s retirement in 2007. Carrying on the family`s legacy of excellence, Antoine crafts timeless Meursault wines that embody the domaine’s style and tradition. This particular release comes from the Premier Cru Genevrières, where Jobards owns a tiny parcel. " The 2009 Meursault Genevrieres is one of the more understated 2009s here. It shows gorgeous persistence in its layers of silky, perfumed fruit. Peaches, apricots and flowers come together beautifully in this somewhat shy yet immensely promising Burgundy. The essence of crushed rocks and lime inform the sensual finish. I also tasted the 2008, which was utterly spellbinding." Wine Advocate, 2011
