Antoine Jobard Meursault Les Tillets Blanc 2015

Tasting Notes

Jobard now owns 0.66-hectares in this fine, high grown terroir, rooted in the stony white clays, high up on the Meursault slopes. It only officially a part of the Domaine in 2014 although Jobard and his father had previously farmed these vines via a métayage arrangement. The vines are approaching their 30th year. Les Tillets is at the very top of the slope, next to Narvaux, and here the cooler air and rocky soils produce a zesty, nervy contrast to this grower's more textural En la Barre. To drop some names, Roulot also farms Les Tillets and Roulot, Germain and Benjamin Leroux are strong in this high country area of Meursault. As with the En la Barre above, Les Tillets was raised with 15% new oak. - Rob Walters
