Meursault Genevrières Antoine Jobard 2016 is a white wine from the prestigious Meursault appellation in Burgundy. This wine is sourced from the Genevrières vineyard, known for its rich, limestone soils that influence the wine’s character. Antoine Jobard is known for traditional winemaking practices aimed at expressing terroir rather than producing overly manipulated wines. The 2016 vintage features a low yield that results in a concentration and structure that defines the year. Tasting reveals mineral notes complemented by citrus, white blossoms and a distinct textural finesse, suggesting potential for long-term ageing.

Antoine told me that the lower part of the vineyard, below where the cabotte is located, was hit by frost, so there is 20% less of the 2016 Meursault 1er Cru Genevrieres. Maybe I was just anticipating a little more complexity and mineralité on the nose of this wine, just losing a little nervosité because of the challenges of the growing season. The palate is quite powerful and intense with hints of peppermint infusing the citrus fruit on the entry that is slightly mellifluous in texture with a spicy, quite long finish. Not bad at all, although I might just have a preference for the 2015. - Neal Martin

Pale color. Rather pungent nose combines white peach, lemon, lime, white pepper and herbs. Strong on the attack, then fine-grained in the mid-palate, conveying an impression of weightlessness. A very fresh, mineral-driven Genevrières with the balance for mid-term aging. Finishes tactile and vibrant, with lingering notes of lemon, lime and crushed stone.
