Domaine Remi Jobard Meursault Sous la Velle 2020

Grape: Chardonnay
Vintage: 2020
Type: White

This dry white wine comes from the Sous la Velle vineyard plot within the Meursault appellation, managed under certified organic viticulture guidelines. Winemaker Rémi Jobard utilizes low-intervention protocols on the local clay and limestone soils to capture deep terroir transparency. The hand-harvested chardonnay grapes ferment spontaneously with indigenous wild yeasts in large neutral wooden tuns, completely avoiding standard small barriques. It undergoes a natural maturation process to allow the structural components to settle naturally without dominant wood flavors.

It displays a bright straw-yellow hue, releasing refined aromas of ripe stone fruits, citrus peel, and delicate white blossoms. A medium-to-full-bodied frame pairs concentrated peach flavors with an underlying stony mineral core. A sharp wave of limestone acidity runs through mid-palate, providing excellent structural tension. The extended wood aging lends a creamy texture that rounds out the mouthfeel avoiding heavy or buttery components. It finishes completely dry, leaving a long, saline impression.
